Paying Down Student Loans Versus Investing -- What Should You Do?
Ahhhhh….you’ve finally made it. 4 years in college, 4 years in medical school, 3-5 more in residency, and 1-3 more in fellowship and you’re finally making the big bucks. You’ve just started getting your first 5 figure paychecks and you feel like you have some money that you don’t need to spend on this month’s necessities. You’ve got a couple hundred thousand dollars worth of student loans hanging over your head, a big mortgage, and even a little bit of credit card debt. But you’re also looking at a huge tax bill, and besides, you don’t want to work forever, so you’ve been studying up on 401Ks and IRAs. How do you decide when to pay down loans and when to invest? Dr. Dahle will walk you through all the factors that go into this decision and give you some recommendations and a list of financial priorities. He also answers readers' questions about tax loss harvesting and emergency funds. If you are finding our podcasts informative and helpful we would encourage you to sign up for our monthly newsletter!
