Hi guys...looking at my student loans and feeling a little scared. Trying to figure out what the best case scenario is for myself. I have a working spouse so combined with my residents salary, we'll be doing pretty well, especially since we're leaving California and going to a cheaper state for residency.
My question is...should I try to pay down my loans aggressively in residency (could probably put 2500 towards the loan first year, more when I'm able to moonlight pgy2+)? Or would this be silly because many employers are offering loan reimbursement, thus I'd actually be throwing this money away? If an employer offers loan reimbursement, and a new hire doesn't have loans, do they offer it as a form of signing bonus?
Any advice would be extremely welcomed.
