How is my Financial Health, Doc?

Capital Dividend Account (CDA) - The biggest unkown planning opportunity for corporations

I have heard of the CDA account many times. It did not register with me until the third time. Then, it hit me like a ton of bricks. Do you know about it? Do you understand it? It is a very powerful estate planning tool for incorporated professionals.

As busy healthcare professionals, we are very good at caring, treating, and healing others. However, how good are we are managing our own personal finances and planning for financial security?

In this episode, Galen shares with us his profession and a look behind the scenes.

I am not alone - physician mutant Dr. Yatin Chadha shares his thoughts about personal financial literacy for physicians

I thought I was alone like Wolverine. But I found another physician mutant willing to discuss personal finance in healthcare. Our lives may be in danger now as the rest of the medical community want to lock us up or rehabilitate us. But Yatin was courageous enough to expose himself as well. We are following our dream of educating the masses and hopefully one day, we can all live together in harmony. One day, we will be accepted by society.

Please listen to Yatin as he shares his thoughts about personal financial literacy for healthcare professionals.

Yatin's podcast is "Beyond MD with Dr. Yatin Chadha" on all podcast platforms.

How to pay down your mortgage faster and still have more for retirement? The Smith Maneuver demystified.

Canadian homeowners are somewhat disadvantaged in comparison to our American neighbours because we cannot right off the mortgage interest. We also think of debt in 1 (only one) way. We are taught this by our parents, cousins, neighbours, and our dog. But after centuries of doing it 1 way, we have not improved our overall financial security. There must be another way?

 

Yes, there is.

 

Please learn about the Smith maneuver and see if this strategy may be a good fit for you. It may not be, but at least, you will know what it is.

One of the best kept financial solution secret for incorporated individuals: Retirement Compensation Arrangement (RCA)

100% of my colleagues have accountants.

99% of my colleagues are not aware of private individual pension plans.

What a huge disconnect!!

And 100% of the 99% are also obviously not aware of the Retirement Compensation Arrangement (RCA). It is one of the best kept secret in personal finance.

Incorporated individuals should learn about this solution and figure out if this is an appropriate fit for their situation.

Don't miss out!

Great taste vs less filling: salary vs dividend. Which camp did your accountant put you into? Part2

This is another very polarizing topic among incorporated healthcare professionals. Accountants and advisors favor one or the other. The truth is probably in the middle (as always). Listen for yourself and see which one you prefer. By the end of these 2 episodes, you will find out which one I prefer (for a reason that no accountants are aware of).

Hey busy healthcare professional real-estate tycoon! Yeah, I am talking to you - Part 2

Everyone knows how buys we are. You know how busy you are. But you also fancy investing in real-estate (not just the REITs stuff)! Can we do it? Hell yeah! If we can save someone life by operating on a brain or a heart, perform a LP with eyes closed, or treat complex mental health illnesses, we can be a real-estate investor. And it does not even take as long as open-heart surgery. It does take does skills that could be learned. Here are some things to think about as you take your first step!
