Key Quotes:
- “During volatile and scary times, there are always people who come out of the woodwork about the end of the world happening. A lot of dentists buy into that fear.”
- “A simple way of thinking about how the stock market works is that there are millions of people around the world who are making the decision to buy the stock or keep the money in their wallet – or sell the stock or hold onto the stock. It’s millions of people agreeing on the prices.”
- “It’s not a gamble; it’s just science. The market, since 1926, has a 10% annual return that is composed of peaks and troughs that go down 45% that happen once every 7-8 years, and smaller dips at about 15%. We hadn’t had one since 2013 or even a really meaningful one since 2008.”
- “Two people with the same amount of earnings, times that by 25 years, have choices of what they want to say yes to. All of these things will either leave you with nothing in the end or with financial security and financial independence.”
- “Some of us need accountability, or we won’t have anything left.”
- “Liquidity creates presence of mind.”
- “You need to have more liquidity in a world where the government isn’t respecting the debt that citizens have.”
- “I would rather see people pay down the liquidity around a business loan because it will give you more confidence around the decisions you’re making.”

Key Quotes:
- “If you have private loans—8, 9, 10%—as well as the federal loans, which may be at better interest rates, combining them all into a 2-3% rate is going to save you some money and hopefully help you get out of debt a little bit quicker.”
- “Another thing a lot of people are not aware of is you can refinance your student loan debt to typically about 2%.”
- “Older dentists are finding it harder to find people to sell their practice to because the younger ones coming out of dental school are so indebted that they just don’t have the money.”
- “Dentists may be surprised; they may be able to get financing that in the past, they didn’t think was possible.”
- “Buying a home in the first place—there are all kinds of discounts available that you might not be aware of because you as a dentist are considered an American hero.”
- “The real question you want to ask your bank (and they don’t want to answer it) is, ‘How fast do I pay off my principal?'”
- “Make your money work for you. A lot of people have money sitting in the bank—in CDs and savings accounts and money market funds—earning zero, and it’s going to stay that way as far as the eye can see.”
- “I’m trying to give things that are in favor of the dentists, not the financial institutions.”
