From $171K in Debt to Debt-Free! ……Talk about Financial Freedom! After graduating in 2014, I was on track to pay off my student loans with a solid 10-year plan. But life threw me a curveball—I lost my job, and my debt skyrocketed to $171,000. Fast forward to September 2023: I paid off my loans in full! How did I reclaim my financial future? I transitioned into locum tenens work, made aggressive monthly payments, restructured strategically, and took calculated risks. 💰 Here’s what I learned along the way: 1. Taking risks can pay off in BIG ways. 2. I aggressively made monthly payments of $4K to $8K to pay off my student loans within 3 to 5 years without sacrificing meals or vacations. 3. Locum tenens allowed me to earn more, work less, and pay down my debt faster.

Is Breaking My Lease Worth $6K in Savings as a Nurse? Answers: https://lnkd.in/gs4cdbDQ MovingAdvice #FinancialGoals #BudgetingTips Hey everyone! 👋 I’ve got a bit of a dilemma and could really use your thoughts on this one! So here’s the scoop: I'm a 26-year-old single nurse living in a high-cost-of-living area. While I'm doing pretty well with a salary of around $100k, my expenses are eating into my savings big time! Currently, I’m in a 1-bedroom apartment that costs me about $2,200 a month, and by the time I factor in utilities, groceries, and my student loan payments, I'm shelling out nearly $4,200 just to live each month. 😩 I graduated less than three years ago and still have about $68k in student loans, plus I’m trying to balance living expenses without much left for savings or enjoying life. I explored moving back home last year, but my parents were helping my sister, and I ended up sticking it out on my own. Here's where things get tricky: I found out I can break my lease early with a 60-day notice and a one-month rent penalty. This means I could move out by December 1st, pay a $2,200 penalty, and then save about $6-7k by living at home for a few months. If I...

🏡🏥 As a CFP, Realtor, and physician spouse, here’s my BEST advice for new medical residents…. Buy that home during residency! 🙌🏻 ▶️ If your residency is 3 years or more, not only might this make more sense financially than renting, it’s also a great way to add a long term investment to your portfolio by taking advantage of physician only financing options during training. 👨⚕️ ▶️ There are lots of lenders who specialize in loan products for physicians in training. These products have features that support the unique needs of physicians such as up to 100% LTV, special consideration of student loan debt, no PMI, and other unique features. ▶️ The price range of these homes (depending on your location) as well as their proximity to hospitals, make them a great turn key rental property post training. 👏🏽 ▶️ After residency, you’ll likely have started to accumulate good equity in the home. From there you can 1. Sell the property and use the funds for your next home, 2. Rent the property to an incoming resident (or anyone, really) or 3. Continue living in the home (and potentially tackle those student loans!) ▶️ If you’re a medical resident and need assistance finding a physician friendly realtor (hi 😉) near you, or need help finding a physician friendly lender, send me a message for more details. 🏥🏥🏥 PASS this along to the residents + med students in your life! 🏥🏥🏥 #louisvillerealtor #physicianrealtor #residency #biggerpockets #medicalrealestate #realestatefordoctors #louisvillerealestate
