Are small financial mistakes quietly making it harder for you to practice medicine on your own terms?

Physicians often assume that a strong income will naturally lead to financial security, but that’s rarely how it works.

In reality, the biggest financial setbacks usually come from avoidable habits and decisions that seem harmless in the moment.

In this episode, Daniel Wrenne is joined by Hugh Baker to address some of the most common ways doctors unintentionally derail their finances, including the patterns they see most often in physician households.

Listen in to learn how physicians can avoid some of the most common financial traps, why high income alone doesn’t guarantee financial freedom, and how a few overlooked habits can quietly keep you stuck longer than necessary.

Saving for your children’s education can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re balancing student loans, retirement planning, and a busy medical career. Yet one of the most effective tools available to physician families, the 529 plan, is often misunderstood or underused.

They discuss the tax advantages, how state plans vary, and why many physician families benefit from using these accounts as part of a long-term education strategy.

Are your student loans quietly changing while you’re focused on tax season?

Most physicians know tax season is stressful, but fewer realize that the decisions they make right now (like how they file and when) can directly impact their student loan payments for the next 12 months.

In this episode, Daniel Wrenne sits down with Jeff Wenger to break down the latest student loan updates, how AGI affects income-driven repayment calculations, and what's happening with the SAVE plan and PSLF buyback program.

Listen in to learn why filing jointly versus separately could significantly lower your student loan payments, how filing an extension might work in your favor, and what to do right now if you're pursuing PSLF and have months stuck in the SAVE forbearance.
