WCI #239: Contract Negotiation and Student Loans

This podcast episode addresses contract negotiation, financial history, and student loan strategies for high-income professionals. Listeners' questions cover negotiating retirement contributions into contracts, which is generally not feasible due to employer plan restrictions, and the slim chances of negotiating residency contracts. Bill Bernstein discusses why physicians should care about financial history, especially regarding inflation risks and bubbles like cryptocurrency. Listeners also inquire about public service loan forgiveness eligibility, the potential for multiple student loan refinancing bonuses, and using 529 plans for student loan repayment, which is only beneficial if the state offers tax incentives.
