A Dentists Most Important Financial Decision (1)

If you’re reading this, I know you’re NOT just an average dentist…

Did you know that the national median household income in the USA was $74,580 in 2022?

At a normal retirement age of 66, Social Security makes up about 70% of that income.The 10% savings rule of thumb works for average Americans as savings can fill in for what Social Security doesn’t cover.

The average GP income from ADA statistics is approximately $200,000.

And that’s payroll income, which means many dentists are earning much more than that.

Specialists earn in the $300,000 to $600,000 range.

The average dentist we work with at Professionals Prosperity Group spends around $16,000/month.

Social Security at around $3,000/month is not going to make much of a dent in a $16,000/month lifestyle.

So for dentists, saving merely 10% is not going to cut it...

Here’s how much we recommend Dentists should save:

• 10% - for a new dentist coming out of school

• 15% - if you have a good associate job or are early in your practice

• 20% - during the accumulation phase of your career

• 30% - great for above-average years

• 40% - a stretch goal for exceptional years

We see real money-saving masters set up automatic savings drafts at 20%+ of their income and commit to them - with few exceptions.
