So the situation is I will be around 350k in the red by graduation. Interest rate of the loan is about 6-7 %. I will make about 50k a year as a resident. So the loan will keep accumulating as I go through residency. Does anyone have any financial advice how to best manage this loan? It looks impossible as things are. I am thinking about asking my father to help out a bit. He obviously can't foot the whole bill but what do you think is a reasonable amount I should ask that would make a meaningful difference? Thank you very much.
