## Resource

On today's episode, Dr. Mark sits down with financial advisor Jeff Condren to break down the biggest money mistakes high-income professionals make—and why earning more doesn't automatically lead to wealth. Jeff challenges common assumptions around debt, investing, and financial planning, explaining how overconfidence, lifestyle creep, and poor strategy can quietly erode long-term success. The conversation dives into practical frameworks for managing student loans, balancing investing with debt repayment, and building a financial plan that evolves through each stage of a dental career. They also explore the importance of emergency funds, the psychology behind spending, and why "set it and forget it" often outperforms trying to outsmart the market. If you want to turn income into lasting financial freedom, this episode delivers a clear, grounded roadmap. Be sure to check out the full episode from the Dentalpreneur Podcast!
