Description: Today we are talking with a family doc and a physical therapist who have paid off all of their student loans just a few years out of training. Their secret to success was creating a financial plan and sticking to it. They lived like residents and put everything they could to loans. They are both extremely debt averse and just wanted to pay their loans off quickly even if they could have gotten forgiveness over time. Their advice to you is to really negotiate your contract, financially educate yourself and have a plan. After the interview we are talking about debt vs investing for Finance 101.
