Achieving Student Loan Debt Freedom

Our guest, a hospitalist, shares how he diligently paid off $155,000 of student loan debt in just two years. Through a combination of a scholarship and focused budgeting, he managed to reduce his debt burden considerably below the national average for medical graduates. By saving half of his net income in a high-yield account and avoiding loan forgiveness programs due to changing circumstances like COVID, he strategically eliminated his debt before interest rates increased.
