Guest pays off $300,000 student loan in two years

Scott, a urologist in Pennsylvania, shares his success story of paying off a $300,000 student loan in just two years. With an income of $450,000 per year, Scott was able to devote about half of his income towards his student loans, often contributing between $5,000 to $10,000 per month. Despite this aggressive repayment approach, Scott still managed to max out his recommended retirement accounts, including Roth IRAs, 403b, 457b, and HSA. He credits his success to adopting a frugal lifestyle, delaying purchases, and diligently following financial advice from the White Coat Investor. Scott's achievement demonstrates the power of financial discipline and the potential for early financial independence.
