I apologize for my lack of money know-how in advance. I have $0 educational debt from scholarships, luck, parents, whatnot from undergrad and the school I am looking at would have me take out $100k minimum over 4 years to pay for it.
For the med students/residents/fellows/attendings: how hard is it to pay off a $100k debt? The worst case scenario I see is $34k subsidized (8500/year) and the rest in unsubsidized.
The way SDN puts it is that everyone is worried sick about loans and is living off ramen. How is everyone's loan repayment plan working out? Will you be debt-free by, say, 35? Are you miserable about it now and (if applicable) do you regret your decision to go to a more expensive school because of the debt?
Thanks guys!
