Busting Financial Planning Myths

There is a lot of “common knowledge” in life that may or may not be right for you.  In this episode of Financial Clarity for Doctors, Rachelle Vanderzanden and Corey Janoff debunk some financial planning myths that simply don’t hold true for most people any longer.  As always, you should take the specifics of your situation into consideration when making any financial decisions.

“Myths” discussed include:

• You can set up a financial plan once and then call it good!
• All debt is bad.
• Renting is a waste of money.
• Social security will go bankrupt (and there will be no remaining benefits) by the time you retire.
• The goal of investing is to get the best returns.
• And so many more!

As we start feeling a little more comfortable talking about money, we can learn a lot from the people and resources around us!  But we can also gather information that is incorrect or just isn’t appropriate for your own plan.  Take a little time to make decisions (especially big ones) with your personal goals and information in mind and don’t rely on “common knowledge”.  Listen to the full episode to learn more!
