When we discussed how we were going to get rid of this debt, she had always assumed that it was going to take a couple decades to pay off. With our combined income, we certainly could\u2019ve lived like paupers and extinguished her loans rapidly. However, I knew a strategy that involved extreme deprivation after her long years of training could grow old and not be successful. Instead, we targeted a repayment period of fewer than five years instead of 10 years or more. We focused on cutting our spending in three key areas that I typically see trip up physicians more than any others.\u201d Travis Hornsby is a chartered financial analyst. He shares his story and discusses his KevinMD article, \u201c3 ways to cut years off your medical school loan repayment period.\u201d Did you enjoy today\u2019s episode?
