Lots of topics to cover in this episode – I answer reader questions about student loan repayment and the best strategies for dental specialists.
We also dive into what I think about the chance of Biden forgiving student loan debt and what that could mean for your taxes, and we have an interview with Justin Sloan, CFA, CFP, about asset allocation and the best way to save for retirement.
In today’s episode, you’ll find out:
