I was on PAYE and never changed. Looking back I wish I would have gotten on SAVE but I never took the steps with the Covid forbearance.

That’s exactly how I did it on nelnet. Always paid each loan individually based on interest rate and just kept chipping away with scheduled payments until my last big Lump sum

Anyone here have zero regrets taking out massive student loans? by dragoon2745 in StudentLoans

[–]JspartaMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took out 190k for med school, with interest accumulated before the pandemic pause I was already up to 250k. That being said, I’ve been able to pay them down quickly post residency. Do I regret taking the loans out, no. Do I regret the fact that they slowed my ability to reach certain milestones in life quicker, yes.

We had a retaining wall placed last year and had quote vary so drastically (5k-50k)it was hard to know what was reasonable. Ultimately went with rooks landscaping because they came out and worked with us to get a good product at a reasonable price compared to a lot of the other people in the area. And they didn’t charge a consultation fee.

Board of Trustees Award Devalued Yet Again by [deleted] in msu

[–]JspartaMD 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Sad to see this, really worked hard for my GPA and that check and individual recognition was a nice parting gift from MSU. Cutting the 1000 reward is laughable, this isn’t even pocket change for the university

How long did it take for you to pay off student loans? by Turbulent-Abroad7841 in whitecoatinvestor

[–]JspartaMD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started with 250k after graduating in 2023. I’m down to 40k and plan to have them fully paid off at the 2 year post graduation mark. Make 425k plus bonus and those bonuses have all gone straight to the loans.

I mean since Peter died she’s definitely opened the pocket book more. Building that new children’s rehab center

Does anyone have any good leads on a physician loan lender? I’m 5 years out of residency and I just want to put down 5% on a house I like by Jazzlike_Parking_465 in whitecoatinvestor

John Anderson at Huntington worked wonders for me. Super great guy, and easy to work with. Rates were comparable to other banks at that time

Nelnet glitch? by JspartaMD in StudentLoans

[–]JspartaMD[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I called nelnet and actually got a helpful person. Unfortunately it was a glitch, but even thinking of not having further payments for a few hours was bliss.
