About this event
The traditional FIRE playbook often points physicians toward a clear goal: pay off debt quickly, free up cash flow, and invest aggressively toward financial independence. It’s a powerful approach, but can miss important variables like interest rates, PSLF, refinancing, tax-advantaged accounts, and competing financial goals.
Join us Tuesday, August 25 at 2:30 PM ET / 11:30 AM PT for a candid conversation with Adam Braunscheidel, CFP®, Senior Wealth Advisor at Earned, and Jorge Sanchez, MD, of Physician on Fire, about the decision nearly every physician wrestles with. The math matters — but the psychological weight of being debt-free is a lot harder to put a number on. They'll work through both the numbers and the emotions behind the choice, and give you a framework to apply to your situation.
You’ll learn how to:
- Compare rapid debt payoff with long-term investing
- Evaluate refinancing, PSLF, and tax-advantaged accounts
- Balance the math with the freedom of being debt-free
