Justin explained that optimizing the physician's work contract is the first step in successful financial planning. Physicians Thrive has access to over 100 advisors, attorneys, and negotiating specialists to ensure that physicians receive appropriate compensation, whether employed or self-employed. Next is a financial plan that for many people will include estate planning, a will, an emergency fund, power of attorney, disability, and life insurance options. Once physicians establish these basics, they can consider alternative investments, such as commercial real estate.

One step to financial independence is to graduate from trading "time for money," the traditional physician model, to other types of income that pay passively. Justin recommended the book, "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," as required reading for those interested in establishing financial independence.

During our 50-minute interview, Justin outlined the steps to become an "accredited investor," which provides access to alternative investments. These high-value real estate investments, such as apartment complexes, are not liquid investments. Investment in residential properties is another alternative, but it tends to have lower yields than commercial properties.

Justin defines "hurdle rate" and provides more insights into commercial property investment. He also explains "opportunity zones." Justin emphasized that physicians should support pending legislation HR10073, which would reverse Medicare reimbursement cuts. Physicians should reach out to their representatives in Congress and underscore the importance of this bill.
