Introduction
Why? We physicians have little business
training We tend to be easy marks & bad
managers And if we screw it up, nobody’s going to
feel sorry for us

#1 - Absolutely Necessary

Insurance:
Definition: “Insurance = Covering your rear”
Overriding principle: When in doubt… Insure for the big stuff Self-insure the small stuff
![Page 9: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Insurance
Original Purpose: pool rare, non-with-standable risks, not first dollar coverage
Common Now: a vehicle for benefits & entitlements
Differing Motivations: if you’re an employee vs. an independent purchaser
![Page 10: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Emergency Fund
You need a “Rainy Day Fund”, even as a resident
3-6 months after-tax income i.e., living expenses
Keep in a safe, liquid, accessible place Bank, money market fund, etc. Be sure to get checking & wire privileges
Will take a while to accumulate How about a VISA in the freezer…?
Only a temporary answer
![Page 11: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Health Insurance
Usually provided by employers But make sure you’re covered now as a
student! Use Flexible Spending Accounts (when
employed)
Do NOT count on professional courtesy! Has gone the way of the dodo…
![Page 12: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Malpractice Insurance (briefly):
Understand the difference between “Claims-made” vs “Occurrence” coverage
Tail Coverage When you go looking for a job, be SURE to
determine, up front, who pays the tail!
![Page 13: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Life Insurance
Kinds of life insurance Term (usually preferable) Permanent:
Whole Universal Variable, etc.
Employee - often 1-3 x annual salary, group term How much do you need?
It depends… Do you really need any at all? …maybe not…
![Page 14: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Disability Insurance
Frequently neglected Remember - dying is cheap (living is
expensive) Issues:
How much? (as much as they’ll give you) Waiting period? (as long as you can afford) Definition of specialty? (as specific as possible)
Employer may provide (but check the details! You still may need your own policy)
![Page 15: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Homeowners Insurance:
Including “renter’s insurance” Includes personal liability
consider an additional umbrella policy: make sure the umbrella limits dovetail with the
homeowners limits
Reduce premiums via larger deductibles (ie, self-insure if you can afford it)
![Page 16: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Auto Insurance:
Includes liability & hospitalization Again, consider an umbrella policy
again, make sure the limits dovetail
Reduce premiums via larger deductibles (again, self-insure if you can afford it)
Analyze coverage frequently older autos usually need less coverage, esp.
collision
![Page 17: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Personal Liability Umbrella:
Personal, not professional, liability Highly recommended for physicians
litigious society & we’re the targets
Needs to dovetail with homeowner and auto limits
How much? $1-3M+ Cheap
![Page 18: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Retirement? Why now?
You can’t afford not to!
You have something very valuable: Time
Time = the magic of compound interest
![Page 19: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
“Compound interest is the 8th wonder of the world”
-- Albert Einstein -
![Page 20: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
“Rich”? - It depends….
In order to retire at 65, and support the average physician’s lifestyle, you will need a LOT of money
A million isn’t was it used to be
You will all be millionaires (big deal...)
![Page 21: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Retirement – Basic Principles
1) Take maximum advantage of matching programs
2) Take maximum advantage of tax-advantaged programs (401-k’s, 403-b’s, IRA’s, Roths, etc.)
3) Don’t count on Social Security4) If you’re planning early retirement, budget a
flexible cushion (to avoid early W/D penalties prior to age 59). Better budget for health care, too
![Page 22: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Retirement Options
401-K or 403-B – from employer, common Roth IRA (see next slide) Roth 401-K or Roth 403-b – new, see if
employer offers
Long-term investment focus Where? I suggest you start with no-load, index,
stock mutual funds
![Page 24: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Roth IRA for Residents / Students
Residents have a 3-5 year window to cash in (maybe even as students, if you have a job) (unless your residency offers a Roth-401k)
Can invest $5,000 each year of residency ($10,000 if married)
![Page 25: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Roth 401-k or Roth 403-b
A new option Some (not many) employers offer A great option if they do – better than a
Roth IRA
![Page 26: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
SEP IRA
Good choice if you have additional “moonlighting” type income:
Moonlighting Consulting Honoraria Royalties Etc.
![Page 27: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
#2 – “Must Do”
![Page 28: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Children’s College Education
Like retirement, but sooner Some of you may need to start saving
during residency! Compound interest works here, too
Long-term investment focus Various Options:
![Page 29: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
College Expenses – One option:
Simply save in parents’ own name Simple Flexible You maintain control Lots of investment options But, no tax advantages
Verdict: not bad to supplement other plans
![Page 30: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
College Expenses – Another option
Uniform Gift To Minors (“UGMA”) Give after-tax $ to child Saved in special joint account Proceeds taxed at child’s rate, within limits But, child gets control at age of majority
(“…a Porsche and a trip to Europe…”)
Verdict: there are better options now
![Page 31: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Another Option - Pre-paid State Plans
AKA “529 Prepaid Plans” After-tax $ paid to state fund Guaranteed to pay tuition when time comes Accumulates and taken out tax-free State-specific
Usually state public institutions In-state tuition only
Penalties: If don’t go to college, go to private college, go out of state, etc.
Pays tuition only - not room, board, books, fees, etc.
Verdict: Limits choice, but guarantees against runaway inflation
![Page 32: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Probably Best - 529 Savings Plans
Like Roths for college All public/private
university/college/professional schools Tuition, fees, room, books, supplies Can choose any state’s program
but, tax advantages often best in own state Verdict: This is what I’d do www.savingforcollege.com
![Page 33: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Children’s College Education - Summary
#1 - 529 plans#2- Pre-paid State Plans (ie, MET)#3 - Save in parents’ name#4 - UGMA
![Page 34: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Educational Loan Repayment
Complex subject – AAMC is a great resource
Common questions: Should I prepay my loans? Should I consolidate my loans?
Where are interest rates going? Important in your decision to consolidate or not…
![Page 35: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Educational Loan Consolidation
Great for some, not for others Motivations to consolidate
Convenience Improve cash flow Renew deferments or gain additional deferments
Bad for others: May lose eligibility for deferment May lose eligibility for subsidies May lose repayment benefits May force you to capitalize deferred interest
![Page 36: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Educational Loan Consolidation
Very complex – be cautious of solicitations Start with medical school financial aid
officer Contact your current primary loan holder Get info from the AAMC:
www.aamc.org/students/financing/
![Page 37: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Buy a House:
Real estate may not always be a great investment, but: Mortgage interest is still a good tax shelter And you’ve got to live somewhere
Both pros & cons of buying during residency
Regardless, don’t become “House Poor”!
![Page 38: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Buying Cars
Another necessary evil Huge life-long expense Cars are depreciating assets (unlike
houses) Ways to finance:
Pay cash Get a loan Lease
![Page 39: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Buying Cars – Overton’s Advice
“Buy the most inexpensive cars you can stomach, pay cash for them, and drive them into the ground” (My car has 257,000 miles on it & looks fine)
Even better: Do the same thing, but buy them two years old, coming off someone else’s lease
![Page 40: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Buying Cars - Leases
Not very common these days Generally not wise financially
(But there are rare exceptions) Shoulders the highest amount of depreciation Limits the number of miles you can drive
But, does get more car for a smaller monthly payment
Better if you insist on driving a newer car Or can’t afford it otherwise Or you get a rare, really good deal
![Page 41: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Flexible Spending Accounts
Once a resident, is a great benefit – can pay: Health care premiums Unreimbursed health expenses Dependent care expenses (!)
...with PRE-TAX dollars - a deal! If your employee offers, take advantage!
A no-brainer
![Page 42: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Moonlighting
A potential source of income during residency
A source of business deductions avoids the 2% floor
A potential source of retirement savings But, need to plan for end-of-year taxes
![Page 43: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Credit & Credit Cards
Be careful – everyone wants to give you credit! But they don’t want you to use it properly!
Cards are great tools, if used properly: Convenient Provides consumer protection (credit, not debit) Gets frequent flyer miles, discounts, etc. Helpful for taxes and financial planning
But, you must pay off every month (only rare exceptions) Limit total number of cards (2?)
![Page 44: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Credit Report
Obtain, study & correct every year (for free) & in advance of major loan applications: www.annualcreditreport.com * Lots of errors & old accounts
Too much available credit hurts your credit score
![Page 45: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Debt
Both a necessary evil & a valuable tool Overall, try to limit Consolidate into tax-deductible forms:
mortgages, home equity loans
Avoid credit card debt, auto loans, etc.
![Page 46: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
More Suggestions:
Stash away 10% of each paycheck, for: rainy day fund --down payment retirement --whatever
Automatic investment plans Make a budget…
![Page 47: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Make & Stick to a Budget
Shortly, you will actually be getting a paycheck!
You need to establish a budget so that you can live on a resident's salary, and also accomplish some other objectives during residency, like:
![Page 48: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Over the residency years, you want to:1. Pay off the credit cards, etc.2. Accumulate a Rainy Day Fund3. Save up a down payment4. Start saving for retirement5. Start repaying loans?6. Start saving for the kids’ education?
Financial Objectives During Residency:
![Page 49: Personal Finance for Students & Residents David T. Overton MD, MBA, FACEP Professor & Chairman of Emergency Medicine Michigan State University College](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649cb15503460f94976fbb/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Use Dollar-Cost Averaging
Save a fixed dollar amount at regular time intervals
Invest in variable price investments (stocks, mutual funds, etc.)
By default, you buy more shares when the price is low, and fewer when the price is high
Automate it
