Diversification, Insurance, and Risk Explained for Mid-Career Doctors | Ep. 40
In this episode, we’re once again joined by Roger Wheelahan, Managing Director and Financial Adviser at Smart Financial Services. Roger explains why mid-career is one of the riskiest times financially for doctors — your income is higher, your responsibilities are stacked, and small mistakes can now cost six figures.
We break down the most common mid-career money mistakes, from being underinsured as your salary and liabilities grow, to letting finances cause friction with your partner, and relying too heavily on property without diversifying. Roger also unpacks why “risk” is really about timeframe, not fear, and how to structure your investments to build lasting wealth.
You’ll also learn how to protect your earning power with the right cover, create financial harmony at home with simple account structures, and think like a future-proof investor who’s preparing not just for your own retirement, but for your kids and even your parents.
If you’re a doctor in your 30s, 40s, or 50s, this episode will show you how to avoid expensive missteps, balance your growing responsibilities, and take control of your financial future with confidence.
