• Home Savings Strategy: Tips for physicians saving for a home purchase—where to park cash for 6–12 months without missing growth potential.

• Solo 401(k) vs. SEP IRA: For side gig income, they break down which one gives you better Roth conversion flexibility.

• Financial Advisor Red Flags: The duo calls out one especially egregious example of poor advisor behavior—and what every doctor should watch out for.
