Summary
What does financial progress look like after reaching Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)?
In this Milestones to Millionaire episode, we discuss the transition from carrying significant student loan debt to achieving a positive net worth. This milestone often marks an important shift in how physicians think about saving, investing, and long-term financial planning.
We also cover practical advice for others earlier in their careers, along with some financial mistakes and lessons this doc learned along the way.
If you're working toward PSLF or evaluating your financial progress after loan forgiveness, this episode provides a grounded look at how net worth, decision-making, and priorities can evolve over time.
