Top 7 Expenses for Young Physicians

We dug into Medscape’s “Young Physician Compensation Report 2022” to check out where young physicians tend to spend their money.

Medscape surveyed 2,000 physicians under age 40. According to the report, compensation is rising for young physicians, yet there are still heavy expenses involved.

Take a look to see how you compare with your peers!

Here are the top 7 major expenses reported by the 2,000 young physicians:

62% reported: Mortgage on primary residence

51% reported: Your own college or medical school loans

37% reported: Car loan

24% reported: Childcare

19% reported: Credit card debt

17% reported: Spouse/significant other school loans or debt

16% reported: Car lease

Over half of the young physicians reported having car-related expenses (with loans and leases combined).

These are major expenses as a young doctor, but maintaining a consistent budget and maximizing your savings can go a long way.

My fiancé and I are so grateful we got to work with Julie! As first time home buyers, the home buying process can be daunting but we honestly could not have had a better experience. Julie is available night and day to address any of our … More concerns and her responses are always very prompt. We valued how organized she is and would recommend her expertise to anyone. Thank you Julie!!! Looking forward to working with you again in the future :)

Matt was the best! Wonderful to work with and made the process so easy. Very responsive and easy to get ahold of 24/7. Great option for first time home buyers and young physicians in residency. My husband looked at several options for mortgages … More and the Physician Bank team was by far the best. Juanita was also wonderful and very helpful! Will definitely be recommending to other physicians looking to buy.

We had the utmost pleasure to work with Julie Velline. She is amazing!!! She helped us close the house in 4 days!! She honestly did God's work and made our dream come true. We were with another lender for 2.5 weeks and were not satisfied … More with their service. The previous lender clearly did not specialized in physician loans like we thought they do. Otherwise, they wouldn't have made the process more complicated than what it really is. It was the constant back and forth and none of our goals were being met. You would think there'll be minimal issues when you have 1 pharmacist and 1 medical physician in the household with 2 incomes. We had major headaches with the previous lender before we finally gave up on them and decided to be brave to reach out to a new lender during the buying process!! I called 1-2 other lenders and they all gave me the realistic answer of "No, we need at least 3-4 weeks to gather all the paperwork and process the loan". It was understandable considering we were with another lender for literally 2.5 weeks yet no loan was officially closed. I finally reached out to Julie for one final effort… and it was on Labor Day, 9/4! I did not anticipate any response due to the holiday and clearly all the banks would be closed. However, Julie responded!! She said they were closed for the holiday but she was willing to look over our documentation. I asked her if she can realistically help us close the loan on our closing date & she said "I don't see why not??". I was nearly in shock. My boyfriend and I sent over all the required documents. Julie and her processor literally worked around the clock for 2-3 days straight, I tell you! She was super responsive to her emails and worked like no other. She made sure to take care of us and to meet our goal of closing the house on 9/13/23. Honestly wow. Everyone we encountered during this buying process was nice and enjoyable to work with. They clearly know what they're doing and clearly have worked with other physicians and healthcare professionals before. They know how doctors live their life and their typical situations. They didn't have much questions regarding our background and finances. A+++ for Physician Bank and Julie! We are truly thankful for you.

This summer my wife and I purchased our first home and had the opportunity to work with Jeff Asche. Jeff was very responsive and punctual when it came to addressing any concerns, and his experience of the entire process was evident throughout. … More Most importantly, Jeff helped my wife and I accomplish our biggest objective out of the entire process. With his help, we managed to time our purchase perfectly with the end of our lease. I could not have imagined a smoother transaction without Jeff!
