For FIRE week on the White Coat Investor podcast, we have a guest host, Physician on Fire https://www.physicianonfire.com/credit-cards/ , discussing travel hacking and answering listener questions. You can earn free travel and he shows you how with regular spending and credit card welcome bonuses. Now credit cards are for convenience and only use them if you are disciplined enough to pay them off every month. Use autopay for all your cards and make sure you are getting at least 1.5% to 2% back on your everyday purchases. If you’re willing to pick up a new card a couple of times a year, and maybe cancel a card or two if you don’t think a card is worth the annual fee, you can get a LOT more bang for your buck by taking advantage of welcome bonuses. Let Leif show you how in this episode.

He also answers many questions about bonds and their role in your portfolio, as well as maximizing the 199A deduction, turnover rates in index funds, and understanding your taxes on side income.

Did you know that the White Coat Investor not only has a podcast and a blog but several books that will help you on your way to financial independence. These books cover topics such as asset protection and minimizing your taxes to keep more of your hard earned money. They discuss plans for insurance, housing, spending, student loan elimination, investing and estate planning. You can learn how to become a millionaire within 5-10 years of leaving residency and how to invest in a sensible low cost and effective manner with or without the assistance of a financial advisor. There is even a book geared directly toward medical and dental students so you can start optimizing your finances early in your professional journey. Find the book that is right for you at the WCI store at https://www.shop.whitecoatinvestor.com or on Amazon. You can do this and The White Coat Investor can help.
