In February 2026, an AI tax-planning launch knocked billions off wealth-management stocks in a single day. So is AI coming for your financial advisor? Jimmy is joined by the original Money Meets Medicine co-host, Ryan Inman, who will now be back once a month. Jimmy uses AI tools every day and shares where they shine and where they confidently get it wrong. Ryan brings the part AI can’t do: accountability. They cover what the data says about how many people now ask AI for money advice, why the behavior gap costs investors more than most fees, who is on the hook when an AI answer is wrong, and how doctors should learn personal finance when the answers are free but the follow-through isn’t. Plus, Ryan shares what he built for this new world at Financial Fellowship.   Resources: Check out the Financial Fellowship Podcast on Apple or Spotify - Monday episodes will feature Jimmy and Ryan.

On the Money Meets Medicine podcast, Dr. Jimmy Turner and CPA Spencer Carroll of Gelt discuss why physicians should plan taxes before December 31 rather than focusing only on filing in spring, citing Turner’s unexpected $36,000 tax bill as a consequence of compliance-only CPA work. They explain year-round tax strategy, the value of Q4 projections to avoid penalties and surprises, and key year-end actions such as paying reasonable S-corp salary by 12/31, making employee solo 401(k) contributions by 12/31 (while some employer contributions and certain plan setups can occur by filing deadlines), HSA timing including the “last month” rule, tax-loss harvesting, managing income/expenses, charitable giving strategies like donor-advised funds, and hiring/payrolling kids or spouses before year-end.  Resources: Start your Year-End Tax Review with Gelt and get 10% off as a Money Meets Medicine listener: https://moneymeetsmedicine.com/CPA Every doctor needs own-occupation disability insurance.

On the Money Meets Medicine podcast, Dr. Jimmy Turner and Justin Harvey discuss how common personal finance advice can be especially costly for physicians and outline six “bad advice” items. They warn that disability insurance company choice matters because applying with the wrong carrier can trigger denials that eliminate access to guaranteed standard issue policies; they also caution against waiting until late in training. They argue that saving 10–15% or just maxing a 401(k) is usually insufficient for doctors with delayed earnings and debt, suggesting higher savings rates based on retirement goals. They note student loan consolidation advice has changed under the One Big Beautiful Build Act and may limit repayment plan eligibility. They criticize “pay off all debt before investing,” explain why renting isn’t necessarily “throwing money away,” and argue that asking if an advisor is a fiduciary is no longer reliable, favoring fee-only transparency.

SpaceX priced at $135 a share, raised $75 billion, and hit an all-time high of $225 within days — then fell to $107. Dr. Jimmy Turner and Justin Harvey CFP break down how index funds actually decide what gets included in the index, why the S&P 500 said no to SpaceX while CRSP and the Russell 1000 said yes, and what that means for the total stock market index fund in your 401(k). What you'll learn: Why an index fund doesn't pick stocks — it follows 3 rules: seasoning, profitability, and float How Nasdaq, Russell 1000, and CRSP cut IPO seasoning for SpaceX Why your money in an IPO often funds the private investors cashing out on the other side What Dimensional's 12-month IPO exclusion says about buying at the offering How to handle FOMO before Anthropic and OpenAI potentially go public Resources mentioned: Looking to lower your taxes?

28% of physicians say they don't earn enough for what their family needs. The lowest-paid specialty still makes $266,000. Medscape's 2026 physician compensation report surveyed roughly 6,000 doctors across 29+ specialties, and the numbers tell a stranger story than "doctors are underpaid." Average pay rose 3%, barely clearing inflation, and nine specialties were flat or down. Jimmy and Justin unpack what the data says about physician pay, negotiation, and the 40% side-gig statistic. What you'll learn: Why primary care averaged $298K and specialists $417K — and which specialties outpaced inflation What percentage of physicians negotiated their compensation, and how many just took what they were given Why "we don't negotiate" pay models push high performers out The paradox: 53% feel personally fairly paid, but 61% say the profession is underpaid What the 40% side-gig number reveals about autonomy and moral injury Resources mentioned: Money Meets Medicine Disability — moneymeetsmedicine.com/disability Need a new CPA or a better Tax Strategy?
