Getting Started

Getting started can be tough, especially when you made the sacrifice to invest your time and your money in yourself!

In the first couple of years, whether in residency or fellowship our goal is to help our clients answer the following questions, while not losing sight of long-term goals:

  • How do I balance my budget to enjoy today while effectively paying down debt AND saving enough so my lifestyle never has to go backwards?
  • What is the most cost-effective way to pay off my loans and will the Public Service Loan Forgiveness help?
  • If I get sick or injured and can’t perform the substantial duties of my medical occupation, will my disability coverage be enough to maintain my lifestyle? Will I be required to work in another occupation based on my qualifications?
  • In the event I die too soon, do I have enough life insurance coverage to supplement my assets so my family can maintain lifestyle and dignity?
