Spring has sprung just like the freshly assembled Adirondack chairs in Ben’s back yard. Fumbling around while constructing Costco lawn furniture is normal, Ben proves that, but, you don’t want to stumble around with your backdoor roth. You also don’t want to be caught off guard by big surprise expenses in retirement.

Nate Reineke and Ben Utley breakdown some of the major life events and expenses physicians like you should consider before retirement including home improvements, grandkids, grad school and weddings!

We also answer the questions your colleagues are asking.

Disabilities: An OB/GYN from Ohio wants to be ABLE to send her son, who has a mild form of autism, to college but isn’t sure he’ll attend. How should the parents be saving?
