    5 Bad Pieces of Financial Advice to Avoid

    On the Money Meets Medicine podcast, Dr. Jimmy Turner and Justin Harvey discuss how common personal finance advice can be especially costly for physicians and outline six “bad advice” items. They warn that disability insurance company choice matters because applying with the wrong carrier can trigger denials that eliminate access to guaranteed standard issue policies; they also caution against waiting until late in training. They argue that saving 10–15% or just maxing a 401(k) is usually insufficient for doctors with delayed earnings and debt, suggesting higher savings rates based on retirement goals. They note student loan consolidation advice has changed under the One Big Beautiful Build Act and may limit repayment plan eligibility. They criticize “pay off all debt before investing,” explain why renting isn’t necessarily “throwing money away,” and argue that asking if an advisor is a fiduciary is no longer reliable, favoring fee-only transparency.

    Should I Consolidate My Loans, PSLF, and Buying a Home

    Dr. Jimmy Turner hosts a solo Money Meets Medicine mailbag addressing timely physician finance questions, emphasizing that trainees should secure disability insurance before finishing training because guaranteed standard issue (GSI) policies are only available during training and many doctors need them. He explains 2026 federal student-loan changes under OBBBA, advising residents planning aggressive payoff to avoid refinancing in training, exit the defunct SAVE plan, and consider the Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP) for its interest subsidy and flexibility. He warns fourth-year med students pursuing PSLF not to consolidate loans to skip the grace period, because a post–July 1, 2026 consolidation can eliminate IBR eligibility and lead to much higher payments versus IBR’s cap.
