Managing Financial [Physician] Behavior
Humans are not wired to work well with money, primarily because the behaviors that kept us alive during the Stone Age — acting on instinct and feelings — can destroy us financially when we (or family members) visit the mall.
For example, a lack of smart money habits is especially concerning for MDs given the reality of lower federal and state reimbursements for medical care, vanishing or lackluster pensions, and an under-funded Social Security system. Today, Americans save just 4.9% of their income per year1 — not nearly enough for long-term financial security.
