Does it make sense for a younger doc lets for example say 35 years old to do this who is a solo practice doc with no employees if you are looking at 3-4 years of doing this? Any idea what the costs would be on average to start this and yearly after?
 
Could definitely be beneficial. It will usually cost a couple thousand to get the plan in place and then some ongoing fees. If you’re comfortable doing it, you can self direct the investments but you will still need a third party making sure it passes all the rules for your contributions.
 
lots of variation, but these things tend to only really work well if you are confident of your employment situation and ability to fund for a long term.
