Quotes to ponder:

"Most resident programs are located in higher tax areas with a high cost of living. That means our reader is probably not deciding where to put his next $15,000, but more like his next $5,000."

"You’re protecting against downside risk in retirement when you save in a Traditional account. If you’re going for Public Service Loan Forgiveness, you should really focus on building assets and protecting against the worst case scenario, which is you having to work forever."
