WCI #412: Toxic Work Environments, Avoid...

Dr. Jim Dahle of the White Coat Investor
About this episode

Today we start out by talking about what to do when your work place turns toxic and how to protect yourself from bad employers and from losing your job. The truth is sometimes you might just have to go find a new job. The biggest risk to the longevity of your career and becoming financially independent is burnout. If you hate your job, you are at great risk of burnout. We also answer some questions about real estate around buying into your building, 1031 exchange details, and if it is a good idea to let the builder of your new home carry the construction loan.

Today's episode is brought to us by SoFi, the folks who help you get your money right. Paying off student debt quickly and getting your finances back on track isn't easy, but that's where SoFi can help — they have exclusive, low rates designed to help medical residents refinance student loans—and that could end up saving you thousands of dollars, helping you get out of student debt sooner. SoFi also offers the ability to lower your payments to just $100 a month* while you're still in residency. And if you're already out of residency, SoFi's got you covered there too.
