When stock prices drop, some investors start asking "shoulda, woulda, coulda” questions about whether to remain invested. But as 2025 illustrates, market timing can be very expensive even if it means missing just a few days.

Sometimes, it can feel like the financial advice that people give to you is so old-fashioned.

Sure, skipping out on buying coffee from the coffee shop you visit every so often will probably help you save money, but sometimes it feels like we’ve forgotten the more important question: will it make you happy?

Financial success means so much more than a line going up or a number getting bigger—it’s something different to everyone.

For some, it could be a certain money threshold that brings them satisfaction, but for others it may be the freedom to go and get that coffee from that café a couple of times every week.

Whatever financial success means to you, working with an advisor can equip you with the tools that could enable you to get there.

As soon as you graduate residency, the advisors start calling.

How do you w**d out the salespeople and find someone who is truly invested in you for the long haul?

Asking the right questions makes all the difference:
• Do they specialize in medical professionals, student loan planning, or disability insurance?
• How do they get paid—fee-only, commission, or a mix?
• What’s the average length of client relationships? You want to be sure they are invested in your success long-term, not just a one-time product.
• How often and in what way do they communicate?
• Do they offer comprehensive care: insurance, investments, and financial planning? Even if all you need now is a disability policy, you want someone you can stick with through all your carer brings.

The right advisor teaches, explains, and tailors a plan for your life—not just sells a product. Asking the right questions up front ensures your strategy aligns with your goals, your schedule, and your career.

Disability insurance is a key function of any good financial plan, as it can protect your income in the case of a disabling event that renders you unable to earn your income. But did you know that the definition of “disabled” can differ from policy to policy?

For example, some policies define disability as being any profession, while true own occupation defines being disabled as being unable to earn income in your own specific occupation.

The definitions are important when it comes to disability insurance, which is why it is important to talk with an insurance professional before making any decisions on a policy. There’s no need to be hasty—come see me at the office, and we can carefully review your options and guide you on your desired path.

Money and mental health are more connected than we often realize. Stress about bills, debt, or even keeping track of accounts can take a toll.

During Mental Health Awareness Month, it's a good time to pause and check in with yourself. Sometimes, even one small financial step—like reviewing an account balance or setting up an automatic payment—might help manage your stress and bring a sense of control.

And remember: if you're struggling with mental health, reaching out to a trusted professional or support resource can make a difference.
