Ep #191: TikTok Financial Advice
Social media is explosive and fast-paced. It’s also a breeding ground for misinformation. If you’re an ER doc who is maybe in a place where you’re looking for any opportunity to pivot out of EM, or simply looking for an alternative source of income, you may find yourself intrigued by an influencer’s unscrupulous financial advice.
On today’s episode, we’ll go over some of the common TikTok-esque financial trends clients have recently shared with us and give our words of caution on them. -
Ep #190: The IRS’ Dirty Dozen
There’s no question that most tax schemes blur the lines between fact and fiction. Every deduction can run afoul quickly, especially if abused. So much so that the IRS annually releases its own list to educate and inform the public about these schemes.
On today’s episode, we go over the “dirty dozen;” many of which target high-income earners, like ER docs, to ensure listeners are aware of the difference between tax scams and legitimate tax strategies. -
Ep #189: What Are Your Options If You Get Behind on Your Taxes?
Back-taxes are accompanied by repetitive, concerning, and somewhat threatening letters from the IRS and third-party collectors. It can be intimidating. And it should be. The IRS is no joke. That’s when tax resolution companies take advantage of your vulnerability and attempt to sell a miracle pill. The reality is: you only have so many options with the IRS and as an ER doc, it’s very unlikely anything but paying the balance back is going to be available to you.
So on today’s episode, we’ll discuss the over-promise and under-deliver nature of tax resolution companies and get transparent on what actual tax resolution looks like. -
Ep #188: How the Election Could Impact Your Taxes
Each and every year, the single largest expense an ER doc pays is their taxes. This means a large percentage of our professional careers is spent staying on top of current tax legislation and strategizing around ways to legally reduce taxes for our clients. We’ve all grown accustomed to the current tax code and laws, but things do change, and inevitably will change, by the end of the 2025.
On today’s episode, we discuss what changes will occur if nothing is done and what impacts those changes will have on high-income earning ER doctors. -
Ep #187: The 3 Worst Financial Decisions ER Docs Make
We just discussed the three best financial decisions an ER doc can make, but what about the three worst? What’s interesting is poor decisions have disproportionally worse outcomes than good decisions when it comes to finances. That’s something really crucial to understand and highlights why we are so risk adverse when it comes to the best ways for ER docs to become successful.
On today’s episode, we’ll go over three specific decisions that every ER doc needs to avoid if they intend to reach financial independence. -
Ep #186: The 3 Best Financial Decisions ER Docs Make
When you think about it, we all make millions of financial decisions over the course of our lives. Is it the culmination of all of those financial decisions that results in your success or not? Possibly. But there is undoubtedly a mindset that we see common in all of the most financially successful ER docs that provides the framework for each and every financial decision they make.
On today’s episode, we’ll discuss this framework and what we feel are the three biggest decisions that drive financial success for ER docs.
