MtoM #126 - Pharmacist Writes a Book and Pays Off a Mortgage and Finance 101: Index Funds

This pharmacist turned educator paid off his investment property mortgage. He shares his fascinating story of moving through several different careers before settling into what he does now, teaching. He wrote a successful pharmacology book that made it possible for him to pay off his first of two rental property mortgages and he is on his way to paying off the others. After the interview Dr. Dahle talks about index funds for Finance 101. I estimate that 80% of doctors need, want, and should use a financial advisor and/or an investment manager. Some investment gurus such as Dr. William Bernstein think my estimate is way too low. At any rate, if you want to use an advisor temporarily or for your entire life, there is no reason to feel guilty about it—just make sure you are getting good advice at a fair price.
