MMM #4: Where’s The Car, Dude?
Have you ever spent intentional time figuring out what your ideal day, week, or year might look like? It might surprise you that an abstract concept like life planning is fundamental to creating an accurate financial plan. In fact, if you don’t do some life planning, I’d argue that it is impossible to have a successful financial plan.
What You’ll Learn from Where’s The Car, Dude?
This show is all about connecting an abstract concept (creating your ideal life through life planning) to a very concrete task (creating a great financial plan). Most people wander aimlessly when it comes to creating a financial plan, here are some things you can expect to learn in order to find your financial way:
- You may think that you know what you want in life, but we will show you that’s not true.
- How to prevent entitlement in your kids when paying for college, and if you should pay for their education at all!
- Formalized processes and tools to help you design your ideal life including the airport test, the ideal day/week/year test, and the 3 Kinder Questions.
- How to connect that ideal life plan to concrete financial tasks.
- Multiple concrete exercises to create your life plan.

Listener Question of the Week:
Today’s listener question is from an anonymous source, but it’s a great question:
“Should I pay for my children’s education completely if I could? Or is there a middle way of supporting them in a way that would not financially cripple them but does not make them entitled either.”
Each episode, we are going to start including listener questions as they are provided to us. So, if you have a specific question you’d like answered on the podcast reach out to us! Email [email protected] or [email protected]

MMM 88: Do Doctors Really Need Emergency Funds?
Physician turnover is high, specifically after the first 2-5 years of training. With doctors changing jobs so often, it is important to establish an emergency fund early on (and to consider the cost of leaving a job in medicine).
So today we wanted to dive into why everyone, including us, says you need an emergency fund, where you should put that money, what to use it for, and what NOT to use it for. We are also going to do some real talk on doing the math BEFORE you decide to either change jobs or leave medicine altogether.
