When you’re a young dentist (typically defined as those between 28 and 35 years old), life is wonderful and filled with seemingly limitless possibility. You’re fresh out of school or a recent graduate, up-to-date on all the newest procedures, filled with optimism and enthusiasm for your new profession, and eager to make your mark on the world. But before you let your eagerness to embark upon and experience your new life run wild, you may want to pull in the reigns a little and take a look ahead.
Chances are that the financial habits you develop as a young adult will stay with you throughout the rest of your life. Therefore, you need to be aware of the common financial mistakes young dentists make. Only then can you make wise decisions that support you now and well into the future.
