- After only 6 years of practicing as a dentist, I've retired at the age of 31. This is my entire journey from broke student taking risks to living the good life in an expensive, big city, and all the lessons I learned along the way.
Hope you enjoy!

Great video.. doesn’t fail to impress me once again.. keep up the amazing work!!
Being a 2021 grad, your insights about dentistry are super interesting to me. Your advice affected not just the way I do dentistry but also my life. You're the only channel I view right away when I see a new video up. Thanks Joel!
so nice to hear messages like this, thanks for your support Kelley! Glad my messages are resonating
Real estate videos with a dentist timeline and best approaches while in our field would be amazing!
Congratulations Joel! It’s awesome getting to see your life change so much in such a short time. You are a very aspiring person to be as an older predent. Good luck on your future endeavors :)
ty!!
Congrats Joel! Retirement by 31 is pretty remarkable. Excited to see what type of videos you'll be posting from here on out.
Thanks Layton!
Would love to see some real estate videos from you !
make sure you've smashed that subscribe button :)
Agreed
Wow I was not expecting such a substantial real estate portfolio. Would love to see more content on that topic.
I've always appreciated your humility and transparency, Joel! You're hardworking, smart, and inspirational. I plan to learn from your journey and become the dentist I want to be! Thanks for all the work you put into your videos. I believe you embody many gifts described in chapter 12 of Romans! Dentistry needs people like you man.
too kind!
Congrats Joel! You never know where life will take you, enjoy everything you can!
Ty!
Congrats! I love watching your videos because you are so encouraging. Thanks for being a great role model.
😊
Congratulations on retiring! This is such an awesome video! I just took my DAT and did well! Your videos motivated me to look forward and keep going! You have become a huge role model in my life and you’ve made me so excited to move forward in my dental journey!!
yes, ty Justin and congrats!
The math does not work out. Sorry.
🙌🏼 always motivating !
Great video Joel keep the videos coming!
Congrats on your retirement- our story has a lot of overlap- I also went into dental school kinda blind, debated dropping out, and wound up finding my path into path, which I am so grateful for. Life truly has optionality! Enjoy this next exciting chapter of your life!
thanks Stephen! the path to path, I like it :) Everything is a part of the journey
Hey Stephen I’m a D2 I’d love to learn more about your path and ask some questions, anyway I can contact you?
@@dentaladdict98 Hey Michael- sure thing! my contact info is on my page! (youtube won't let me include in a comment- flags as spam)
Congrats Joel! It’s crazy 2 years ago when I started studying with Bootcamp I remember how greatly you explained things, now in my second year of dental school I’m in the position where I’m wondering where I want to be in my life and your videos are definitely helping at this stage of my life too! So thank you and cheers
hey, congrats hamaad! awesome to hear, keep at it. it only gets better!
Hey @Joel Meyerson, wonderful video. Most people don't want to go rural due to various reasons. You proved that, doing the hard things which most people don't do actually gets you the pie sooner. 🙂 keep them videos coming man 👌
🙌
Great video as always! Love the hustler mindset
Another great video, thanks Joel!
thanks Landen!
Great video as always, iam very glad to see that you no longer need to sacrifice what you want in life to get by day to day. A place most id imagine dream of and seems very lovely to be in. All the best.
ty erik!
Wow that’s incredible, DAT boot camp really helped me when I was studying for the test. Good luck in the future appreciate ur help
Ty!
Joel dude, love the entrepreneurship journey. You have found the key to a successful/fulfilling life (and some true wealth), constantly grow, learn, try new ventures. Real estate is a great step to wealth (tax breaks too). You beat me too retirement by 20+ years? By the way, I work harder now than I ever did running a pediatric practice, and in the building of a very profitable DSO over a 10 year period. I have to say not being tied to a dental chair, losing the requirements of managing a large practice (and a DSO), and selling a product most people don't want, and all patients think costs too much has been liberating the last 2-3 years. I saw retirement from Pediatric Dentistry more of a "pivot" to a healthier career for me. It's obvious to me from our video content that you were destined to be successful with or without the DDS behind your name, congrats, and now for the 🌙.
means a lot!
Congratulations on retiring from dentistry! Hope you have an amazing next chapter of your life!
ty!
I'm not a dentist, I have a completely different field (software development), but even I found all these tips super helpful! 👍
You're a breath of fresh air!
Would love to hear how you invested in-depth!
You are really unique, very different than most dentist who like to increase income till old age. I feel you enjoy following science and knowledge, and contributing to community, rather money. I am impressed by your personality. I hope to learn more from you. I have phd with limited time for practice, but I feel I lost my life goals and sometimes want to pursue medicine or clinical work.
Another great video!
as a third year canadian undergrad student, I am commited to reaching the beginning of your dental journey soon!!
gl! you can do it
Congratulations Joel. Very inspiring video 👏 3rd year in my practice and nowhere close to retirement 😂
keep at it, we're all on our own journeys :)
This is like a vice episode where they explain the development of a mastermind 🤩
Would love to see your experiences in real estate rentals as a dentist!
Bro I just started university but u continue to push me to become a dentist thank u for that
gl!
I love your messages.
Joel, you really are the G.O.A.T man
your such a role model for me
Here before this hits the algorithm 📈
Would love to hear more about your experience, opinions, and responsibility of managing real estate as a dentist. I'm also a dentist in Ontario and am thinking strongly of doing this to retire sooner too. I heard you say its not all that its cracked up to be but am very curious as to why.
Great content and congratulations!
Congrats bro
❤️
hi joel! I am a dentistry student from Turkey, istanbul. Your videos are so amazing and inspiring, thank u so much you are wonderful! I am not super into dentistry now but I feel like I do not have many options to make money.
With which age you started studying dentistry?
Thank you so much for the video, it was filled with great informations, but I have a question if you don’t mind how much do you think a recently graduated dentist student from Europe who is moving to Canada will make after they get licensed to work in Canada
dr meyereson,
heyy. i am dental student and i have been keeping up with your videos for some time now and i think we share the same mindset about a lot of things, but in your journey you chose to become a general dentist while i would like to go into oral and maxillofacial surgery where my passion is, but you know how long is this going to take and at the same time i would like to start a practice and go on the fast lane while i am doing so. do you have any advice for me regarding that or tips that you could tell me that might help me in my journey when it starts.
thank u for your videos they are great.
Your teeth and smile are absolutely fantastic. You're quite the handsome lad!
Excellent video 👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥
🙏
Great story! I thought you decided to go to dental school for sure in college when you came in contact with a dentist at work. What made you on the fence about it in the end?
he got dentistry on my radar but hadn’t decided and taking the DAT ending up being the tipping point
Does anybody know where he did his undergrad and dental school. I am a Canadian looking to apply to US dental schools
Side hustles all the way..... 💪💪 I am curious now how much percentage of your passive income is coming from rental properties, and was your dentist income the core engine for the cash needed to purchase RE? I know some ppl literally did it with zero leverage (think flips), but a lot of dentists do with their high income.
I also feel it’s going to be difficult to repeat the economic growth in the past 5 years, either in the housing market or the stock market.
Dentistry main economic engine, cash flow from RE not super significant as I tend to try and keep income low and refinance equity out
What is the reason of retiring for dentistry??
Can anyone kindly share information 🙂
Awesome video. How did you afford buying the properties? Did you take a lot of loans?
debt is a wonderful tool if used well
Hi Joel! I've been interested in getting an associate's in dental hygiene before possibly applying for dental school. Would you recommend this or would my time and money be better spent elsewhere?
I think that going into dental hygiene could help you have some experience but at the same time, you will still have to get an undergrad degree prior to applying to dental school
Great guy great vid
😘
Joel are you into real estate and if you are can you please make a video on it?
Wow amazing you were able to get a loan to buy real estate as a new grad (or maybe you bought cash, who knows). For a mortgage now you need 2 years of taxes, a job with a daily guarantee, 6-12 months reserves, and the downpayment. Get the feeling past generations of dentists never encountered this issue since it was so much easier to get a mortgage even 10-15 years ago.
the mortgage rules aren't as strict as they make them out to seem
Would you say in this day in age to go in dental school , your parents must be some what well off and willing to help you out ? Is it still smart for someone with no money or someone to help them out in any way possible to take on a large amount of debt and sacrifice 8 years of their lives plus a 1 year of residency to finally get a job ?
check out my video "Is dentistry still worth it"
Which dental school did you go to? I’m one of those aspiring oral surgeon, debating between u of t and u of m. Thinking that u of m is going to be way easier, from the gpa front
UofT. I thought it was a great school.
What the heck did you get on the DAT?
What type of dentist are you
How’d you live for free?? I’m sure that’s well worth knowing and learning in general!
Applying for dentistry, can’t wait for my 1st year , any advice?
Enjoy it and go to extra resto practice :)
@@jmey sure will thanks!!!
Do not go into dentistry is the s
Crazy
P.s. I am* so proud of you
By your definition I retired at 21
I got a question please be honest with me I don’t want to get my hopes up but i graduated Highschool with a 1.5 gpa and now enrolling to a community college next year do you believe in 4 years of college if I get top grades I could reach 3.0 ? I really want to go into dental school but if it’s impossible then it’s fine
your highschool gpa don’t matter in college. you start over in college.
Is there an issue with your license if you don’t practice for a certain period of time?
You need to keep doing CE but there aren’t any practice requirements where I am at least
@@jmey are you going to keep doing CE?
What did you study in undergrad
Medical sciences
hey! Your teeth are perfect and white! Are they veneers or are they real teeth?! 🤩
They're real I can confirm :)
Hi, i'm a dentist in Costa Rica.
I'm 1.5 years away from retirement. I'm 35, single and no kids, but i want to work until 40.
The moment i learned about mgtow i was free.
Wait so what is your net worth at retirement? Congrats
I love your videos
you are the true self-made. Unlike most that claim so but take daddy’s money and dental office then lecture others how to be successful.
standing on the shoulders of giant :)
You’re a full time TH-camr you didn’t retire.
I am a dentist from Brazil in Canada for about 9 years now, I generated approximately 900k and want to retire work and create passive income in the usa, is it possible knowing that I have the money to start something and a Canadian citizenship
Is it to late to study dentistry with the age of 26 ?
What was the trendy city?
Hamilton ON, it's gotten really cool over the last 5-10 years
You retired but are still working? 🤔 A little click baity, but good video 👍
😘
First world countries , take advantages of the opportunities you guys have. Because when you live in latin america, you dont have all of this lol
Is a large part of your portfolio in cryptocurrency?
~5%
Why would anyone want to retire at 31 ???? And do what ??? SO sad and boring no purpose ?? Being a dentist brings better meaning to your life ! Whatever just a loser ER doctor talking. what do I know. Just MAD AT THIS GENERATION (RETIRE AT 20, 25, 30,) BLA BLA become a millionaire in 3 easy steps. The world is going the wrong way.
SOOOO I jump around the video and my comment changed to... so you change careers from dentist which you made do part time in the future to real state. you are still working the tittle is click bait for the young generation that's lazy. Glad you are happy. You are still very young. only 31. I was an immigrant McDonald's worker and now an MD. life is horrible and very difficult for many others and most people so I automatically dislike the promotion of retire early.
@@FacundoMD is it to late to study medicine with the age of 26 ?
@@MahiroFuwaXXX 100% no ! That’s my point exactly this overemphasis on doing everything fast and etc !!! I started medicine at 27 and my other friend at 40. So 26 is actually early ! Go for it !!
@@FacundoMD thx man. Big push from you.
I love your videos! I would love to ask you some question do you have an email?
