You make plenty of money. You’re saving plenty of money.
But are you actually saving enough?
Most physicians have heard the same advice: save 20%. Save 30%. Max your retirement accounts. Live like a resident.
But none of those rules know what your life actually requires.
In Episode 10 of Take Control Rx, James introduces the Savings Prescription—a way to stop guessing how much you should save and start working backward from the life and goals you actually want.
You’ll learn how to turn a meaningful goal into a specific monthly savings target, compare what your future requires with what you actually have available, and identify the decisions to make if there’s a gap.
Because having a high income doesn’t automatically mean you’re on pace.
The real question is:
On pace for what?
In this episode:
- Why generic savings percentages can’t tell you whether you’re saving enough
- How to calculate a Savings Prescription for a specific goal
- How your Free Cash Flow—or Pulse—compares with what your future requires
- What to do when there’s a gap between the two
