I remember seeing one of the very nice houses on Perkins, just past the Bayou Manchac bridge and there was a huge motorhome, Hummer, Denali, very nice pleasure boat and other toys all parked in the driveway and thinking....damn just how deep in debt are is this family.

It doesn't sound like the Advisor's high fees are the problem.


I read the article. Did I miss the part where they are spending all of their money. 1.25% fee on your money that is already set aside is not why you are struggling. Is this an ad for a brokerage company?

1.24% for managing someone's money isn't that high. Hell, when we were running a PE fund we had a 3% carry plus 2% annual expenses. That is 5% and people were handing us money as quick as we could open another fund. Why? Because they couldn't beat our returns without quitting their jobs or selling their companies.

Most people don't have the skill set to truly manage their own portfolios.

I used to think it would suck to lose half your income to an ex wife. After being married for over a decade now I think I would end up with more money if I only had to give her half.

Doctors are notoriously financially inept and easy marks.

Look how many in lockstep called a vaccine safe and effective when it was more or less 0% effective, untested and as the evidence unfolds unsafe.

Absolutely. Anyone I know in the financial services industry tells me this. It's a well known fact in their profession.

I don’t need $426k every year… I just need that amount one time and I’d be set for life…

My mom was an accountant and always said doctors were the worst when it came to managing their own finances. She always preached what you do with money matters way more than how much of it you make.

Over 10 years ago one of the Drs.she worked for was whining about his income tax bill for the preceding year.
He told her “I made a million dollars last year,my tax bill is $200,000 and I have $200 in my checking account.”

Knowing him and his situation, it was his wife that was the spendaholic and he couldn’t control her He didn’t wear expensive clothes,he drove an old Chevrolet truck.

if you put your money to work like you should then you should feel cash broke on a 665k salary.

maybe it's just me but if i have extra money sitting in my checking account I invest it in something ASAP. money just sitting there is lost money.

A 20% effective tax rate isn't terrible on a million, considering what the top marginal rates are over 500,000.

yeah... but paying 200k to the tax man is much different than having a 20% effective tax rate

Uh what? Having a 20% effective tax rate on a million dollar is literally the same thing as paying 200k to the tax man.

Doctors are almost always 400-500k in student loan debt these days. I know LSU dental school your be 400kin debt now. Tack on 7.5% interest and you’re making 600k so probably 3-4K a month just going to student loan debt. And then 25% off the top goes to taxes. Then if responsible 13% goes into a retirement account. So that’s over 50% before looking at a cent. Then add another 5-6k a month for house payment he’s at 70% gone
