Hello, so I was wondering if I could get some opinions on how likely it is to live a comfortable life as a physician while paying back massive amount of student loans. Post residency I will be paying back approx $4-5k/month in loans. My spouse (also a physician) will have no student loans. Our combined monthly income pre-tax will be between $40-50k/month. We want to live in a nice home preferably in a Philly suburb and have a comfortable lifestyle. We want to know if it will be possible to raise 1-3 kids, save for retirement, and do all those other "life things" that we've been putting on hold through school and training. I would really appreciate some legit advice and guidance. Thanks!
