Budgeting can be a difficult task for physician families, especially when one spouse is a stickler for budgets and the other isn't. But Nate Reineke, CFP with Physician Family Financial Advisors, explains how couples can develop budgets in a nonconfrontational way by discussing their short and long term goals. He encourages families to pay off debt while saving for kids' college and/or retirement. And most importantly, he doesn't want physicians to miss out on enjoying their lives because they are so focused on saving for retirement. With a little forethought, there can be a happy balance between work and the rest of your life. You can learn more about Nate or hear his podcast at www.PhysicianFamily.com.
