IBR can't go away, people would just default on their loans.
A cap would be devastating for pslf. It's a difficult subject. I can see the upcoming administration axe these programs, on the flip side you may get a tax break as an attending to pay off these loans.

I have always wondered why are Texas schools so cheap compared to the rest of the nation?

Do you moonlight at all? white coat investor had an interview with a moonlighting resident who had payed a good chunk of his loans off.

I will refrain from offering financial advice as I am not qualified, however you may want to calculate your total loan balance at time of forgiveness and the tax burden you might be responsible for at 20years. It is possible that it might be better to live like a resident on an attendings salary for a few years to pay off the loans compared to 20year forgiveness.

IBR won't go away, I'm talking about the loan forgiveness at the end possibly changing/capping/etc for future new borrowers. PSLF sounds too good to be sustainable...10 years and non-taxable loan forgiveness...I will be surprised if it's still around and unaltered in 10 years when I'll be eligible.

Interns can't moonlight, I think we're only allowed to moonlight as PGY-3's. Varies by institution and probably by state.

I work part time, and shouldn't. Full time is not possible, unless the job were something where you could study and get paid for it. If anyone knows any such jobs, do tell.

To most of us, med school is like eating a large pizza every day. Yes, it's a lot, but most people could reasonably eat a whole large pizza every day. But if you skip a day or two, there is no way you can eat two or three large pizzas in a day.
