WCI #262: Kids (and Engagement Rings) Are Expensive! And What Is the Future of WCI? | White Coat Investor Podcast

In this episode we discuss the cold hard truth that kids are just really, really expensive. Childcare is one of those things that can be complicated and expensive. We review some options for childcare and how to get a little cutback on the cost of that. We also discuss how much is reasonable to spend on an engagement ring, debate if second homes are worth purchasing, discuss the merits (or lack thereof) of robo-advisors, and review some of the ins and outs of Roth conversions.

I estimate that 80% of doctors need, want, and should use a financial advisor and/or an investment manager. Some investment gurus such as Dr. William Bernstein think my estimate is way too low. At any rate, if you want to use an advisor temporarily or for your entire life, there is no reason to feel guilty about it—just make sure you are getting good advice at a fair price. If you need help updating your financial plan or just getting one in place, check out our list of recommended financial advisors at link. You can do this and The White Coat Investor can help.
