Put every possible dollar towards those student loans. The original $120K balance upon med school graduation was down to $75K when I finished residency. Within a year I paid off ALL student debt. We purchased a decent house ( NOT the typical " doctor house" ). Kept the older vehicles as they still ran perfectly.

I made 95K as a paramedic and staff nurse... She needs to figure out how to bring in more money as an NP!

[@chocovanille5809]

How many hours per week you worked. Im planning to do my ABSN. Is it worth it?

[@robn.7426]

She said this year - partial year. Dave said she'd make $150k next year and she said absolutely.

[@ricana1160]

She just opened her practice

It's interesting how she needed Dave Ramsey to tell her that her husband shouldn't buy into his practice when they have that debt. Surely that was commonsense?

Common sense is not a flower that grows in everyone’s garden.

[@megalodon1726]

Many dentists and doctors don't have common sense with money and debt.

[@thelogicaldanger]

She already knew it, she didn't need Dave Ramsey to tell her, but she wanted Dave Ramsey to convince her husband. And from his side conversations, I doubt he was convinced and he will go ahead any buy into the practice regardless of what his wife or Ramsey thinks.

@@thelogicaldanger Yep, it sounded like he was in the room with her and arguing with Dave by proxy. That's an enormous commitment to take on when your spouse is not on board!
