“I’m making plenty of money. I’ll be able to retire when I want to.”*

This sounds reasonable … but wait, there are a few pesky questions you have to ask yourself. Are you in debt? Are you saving enough money? What happens if you are suddenly faced with too many competitors in your region?

What happens to your revenue when the economy goes through a rough patch? What happens if your years of practice are cut short by some sort of debilitating injury?

No one likes to think of such things but they can and do happen. Something as simple as developing arthritis can end your career long before you expected. Sure, you can gamble on things like this not happening. Of course, if you are wrong, you are putting yourself and your family at great risk.
