2584: Why Ownership May Be the Best Repayment Strategy

All Posts

On today’s episode, Dr. Mark Costes welcomes back Mark Johnson, wealth advisor with RBF Wealth Advisors and founder of Student Loans Rx and Dental Wealth Rx, for a practical conversation about student loan repayment, practice ownership, and long-term financial planning for dentists. Mark shares how he first began working with dental students and residents after realizing how little traditional financial planning addressed the realities of six-figure student loan debt.

He explains why young dentists should build a financial foundation that includes emergency savings, disability insurance, retirement contributions, and a thoughtful student loan repayment strategy. Mark also discusses the new repayment assistance plan, why practice ownership can be one of the most powerful ways to accelerate income and pay down debt, and how dentists can begin preparing financially, clinically, and emotionally to become owners within a few years of graduation.
