When you think about money, your spending habits, and your instincts do you analyze the mental and emotional side to finance? Most people do not realize that there is a correlation between spending and human emotion.
Emotions play a powerful role in shaping our financial behavior, often making us our own worst enemies as we try to save, access value, and spend responsibly.
I have read the book: Dollars and Sense by Dan Ariely and Jeff Kreisler. I am going to give you a short synopsis of the book and my thoughts on the mental side of spending and saving your money.
In this podcast you will:
- Learn the mental side of finance aka behavioral finance and how your spending habits may or may not change based on your mood.
- Discover if getting something for free is too good to be true (HINT: You may be surprised by the very common result of a free promotion).
- Acquire ways that people avoid pain when it comes to money and spending. A lot of these tips are very easy to put into your routine.
- Gain practical tools needed to understand and improve your financial choices, save and spend smarter.

Hello my friends, welcome back to another episode of Freedom Formula for Physician's Podcast, the podcast dedicated to helping doctors like you slash your debt, slash your taxes, and live a liberated lifestyle.
I am excited for the start of the year here, as we are well on our way into 2018. I would like to ask a favor-could you take 5 minutes or less to rate and review the podcast on iTunes? I'd like to give some listener love to a few people who have recently received the podcast:
Todd, KS (paraphrased)-I came across this podcast in early 2017, and it has been a wonderful addition to my morning routine and commute. Dave has great guests on and gets right to their personal stories. These stories include financial struggles and pearls of wisdom-an an enjoyable listen. Highly recommended!
Dr. Mike WM-An excellent podcast for physician's-young and old. As doctors, we get zero business education in medical school, and Dave gives practical advice to help us on our financial journeys. Highly recommended!
There have been some BIG changes with taxes, and I've had a huge focus on addressing these changes between 2017 and 2018! And as a friendly reminder, you can text LESSTAXES to 44222, and that will give you all kinds of information with the tables I've been going over and possibly help you to apply for your specific situation.
In this podcast you will:
- Learn how itemizing is a much more difficult barrier for residents and fellows to get over
- Discover the difference in tax savings between being single and being married
If you think you may be paying more taxes than the numbers I've crunched, I'd love to hear from you and look over those numbers with you to see if I might be off on your calculations or if you might be off on your calculations. Also remember, you can e-mail me at dave@doctorfreedompodcast.com.
