  • WCI #428: Estate Planning and Passing Wealth to Your Children
    Jul 17 2025

    Today we are answering your questions about estate planning and passing on of wealth to future generations. We talk about the value of giving your kids their inheritance earlier in life when they need it most. We discuss if buying variable annuities as a way to pass wealth to your children or grandchildren is a good idea, as well as what to do when you receive an annuity as inheritance. We discuss the importance of getting a solid estate plan in place, especially when there are complicated situations involving multiple properties being kept in the family and passed down to future generations. We also get to hear from our friends at Wellings Capital and then answer a question about private real estate debt funds.

    Today’s episode is brought to us by SoFi, the folks who help you get your money right. Paying off student debt quickly and getting your finances back on track isn't easy, but that’s where SoFi can help — they have exclusive, low rates designed to help medical residents refinance student loans—and that could end up saving you thousands of dollars, helping you get out of student debt sooner. SoFi also offers the ability to lower your payments to just $100 a month* while you’re still in residency. And if you’re already out of residency, SoFi’s got you covered there too.

  • MtoM #231: Dual Doc Couple Saves $100K for Retirement During Residency and Finance 101: Plan Documents for Employer-Provided Retirement Accounts
    Jul 14 2025

    This dual doc couple has a very impressive milestone today. They have saved $100,000 towards retirement during residency. They wanted to give themselves more compounding interest time and not wait until they were attendings. This doc also shared about their student loan journey. They met with Andrew at StudentLoanAdvice.com and got a plan in place early. They decided that they did not want to go for PSLF so before they started residency they refinanced their loans. They took a risk to refinance when their loans were at 0% but they locked in sub 3% and are now feeling very good about their decision. Then, for Finance 101 we are talking about plan documents for employer provided retirement accounts.

    Many investors know about the historic returns, tax advantages, and wealth-building opportunities of commercial real estate investing, but they’re confused about where to start or who to trust. Wellings Capital has created a diversified fund that offers investors an easy on-ramp to access carefully vetted commercial real estate operators and opportunities. Their goal is to provide income, growth, and tax benefits with limited downside risk. With a minimum investment of $50,000, investors get a stake in a portfolio of self-storage, manufactured housing, RV parks, industrial properties, and more.
