How is your kids, or grandchildren doing?
Wow Mr. Ramsey I am baffled. You only cared that your tax money insured his debt not the systems that allowed him to go in a million dollar debt and that he cant even file bankruptcy for all that debt if he ever got under water? Wow
Hello Dave I have questions I’m in $11,000 bet and 20,000 car payment loan what should I do to relive those problems?
I’mI’m has always happen every
bad advice in this special case, he has a lot of potential because of the high flow of money. the only way togo would be pay the minimum
use as much as he can to invest. quickly he gonna turn the 1mil student loan into 1 mil investment loan that then could be furter investet with higher rates of payback.
that would also secure him a bit better since most of his income comes from a job he could loose at any moment. any momeny payback then is just lost and the debt is crushing him anyway. better have assets that ensure payback
So this guy is practically a millionaire except in the negative direction.
Bruh
There's a silver lining to everything.
They say if you dance with the devil might as well lead.
It doesn't take that long to make your millionth dollar.. difference between being a millionaire and having made a million. He will pay more than that, though because of the interest.
He just has to turn the galactic currency from a 1 to a -1.
He is a -millionaire
I literally have $0 im 1 million richer than him.
I wanted to write this response so that I had time to let your comment sink in. This is an amazingly stark contrast.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha
Lol
This man has a $1,000,000 investment in his career that he leveraged with no assets yielding 100% return in less than 10 years.
I feel overwhelmed with 30k debt. I cant imagine 1 million
He's going to be fine. In 5 to 10 years, his business will grow. Now I know why all dentists I have visited are shady af. They all want to make quick bucks with the worst quality service.
I feel dead having to owe $1000 😂
ya but he will start making a ton pretty soon
Me too have 30,000 in debt and I hate it and want to get rid of it.
You can hear it in his voice. He’s defeated
Our university system needs to be looked at. There should be no way that this could happen
fr this is horrible
Dead right about that...becoming the same in Australia with some stud. Debts up over 700k. Crazy world!
While I agree with you, this is his fault 100%. You can't blame it on the university.
@@fglend73 You can blame it on both. Both are ridiculous.
It’s all private schools and private loans. All our medical schools are private
Every kid this guy sees is getting braces for 8 years.
LOL
Ahaahaha
It's funny but it's actually a good commentary on the Americans medical system. Certain drugs and treatments are pushed regardless if it's needed
You hit the nail on the head and explains the corruption in. all of healthcare. Patient care is based on Money. It's no longer based on patient needs.
@dustoff Go work in Healthcare and then get back to me
I'm going to become a millionaire
*Uno Reverse card
Good one....
I didn't mean to bust out laughing. Omg!
Underrated comment but this is sad and I feel bad for the guy.
Rick Sanchez Wow!
Lol
I feel like living with 80-90k with no loans would provide a better quality of life than 250k and $1m in debt. That's insane.
Well duh lol. But it’s relative, obviously having debt 4x your salary is terrible. But once it’s paid off, 250k a year is pretty sick. Imagine being 4x in debt but your salary is 30k, there’s no happy ending in sight there lol.
Especially since this couple have to live like 'poor' people for several years. Debt is quite the humbling experience.
A lot depends on how well his business goes.
Obviously he will still be in a lotta debt but after 3 years or so, if the business goes well then they can live a normal lifestyle
Yes absolutely your 20 year outlook is better with 90k and no debt than 250k and 1m debt
My dentist told me they usually spend half their career paying of debt and the other half making a living and saving for retirement.
yup doctors too
How sad
Agree. I couldn't image always feeling so far behind. Especially when you are in your prime.@@fire12731
Us college is though jesus Christ.
I always envied your salaries but looking at it from this perspective we make waay more 😅
The high doctors here make like 300k on average while in the US ones make 400k but ours have basically 0 student debt.
I remember seeing somewhere that doctors make as much as teachers. Why bc it takes multiple years of schooling so then you aren't working during those years and loans etc.
"When a man owes the bank $1,000, he can't sleep at night. When a man owes the bank $1,000,000, the banker can't sleep at night." -Old Proverb
I heard it differently. When a man owes the bank $1,000, he has a problem. When a man owes the bank $1,000,000, the bank has a problem.
Why would the bank have a problem?
MrJaytheking because the man probably cant ever pay it back to the bank
When you owe the bank $1,000,000, that's your problem. When you owe the bank $100,000,000, that's their problem.
@@MrJaytheking Because they now have a million dollars to recover and will be afraid of not getting it back.
Imagine being this guy and winning a million dollars, and you’re net worth is at $0
No he’s income would still be negative because of the taxes lol
Still richer than the average American at $0
winning a million dollars is a good $600000 - $700000 after tax...so he still in debt
Needs to yolo on gamestop 🚀🚀
@@goynwa7110 what??? You guys pay taxes on lottery winnings? No tax on winnings here in Canada
It’s a crime that the College Industry can bait and switch with predatory overpricing.
Bingo! 💯
Unfortunately we feel victim to this. I was the first one in my family to go to college. My parents didn't know anything about it. I graduated with 200k of debt. I lived at home after graduating for another 6 years but I'm debt free! Better feeling then graduating 🎓.
It just isn’t true. In order to accept the loan, the system makes you watch a demonstration on how interest works and how long it can take and how much more you pay the principal. You have to answer quiz questions correctly demonstrating understanding before you are given the page where you sign. They know going into it and they have magical thinking the someone else with pay it. He was smart enough to graduate from dental school, so he was smart enough to know what $1M is. Fortunately, he’ll make a million in take-home in about 6 years. The worst thing is that his finance is working without income or a retirement savings plan so he has more to put on his debt.
I had an anxiety attack just thinking about a million dollar debt. The world we live in is unforgiving.
This guy owes one million dollars and his fiance still married him, That is true love!
No doubt, she is a trooper
She’s a debt digger.
Probably ignorance, pure ignorance
Or insanity.
Not me !!!
''my interest is about 5800 dollars a month'. That line send shivers up my spine.
Half of my total amount PER MONTH 😩
That’s nearly 3 times my mortgage.
That’s 5 times my mortgage monthly payment
$5,800 a month on a million dollar debt is 6.81% average interest. He must have been taking every loan he could get.
A doctor who is really bad with money will be $650K in the hole when exiting residency, tops... That's assuming this person picks an extremely expensive med school and can't manage a $60K a year lifestyle during residency, borrowing money in expectation of high future income.
Apparently, it's normal for an orthodontist to be $1 million in the hole, because they also have to pay for residency... Wow... This is a level of education debt that I wasn't aware existed...
5800 a month in interest????
Land of the free
@@billymabum3514the loaners are actually gonna lose money on him. After 25 years the loan is forgiven. So anything he hasn’t paid up until that point goes away. Still messed up but at least it won’t hit his credit
@@billymabum3514Yeah but it kinda evens out with the massive incomes. USA people always seem like they're overpaid, but I understand due to the extremely high college cost 😅
@@earl12121 that’s not true at all . That’s why most people struggle to pay off their debt
Unfortunately, compounded interest works both ways.
Thank god he has a degree in a good field that a job is almost guaranteed
That assumes he will get a job. Any number of things could knock him out of it.
Thats not how math works. Especially at those numbers… he will die three lifetimes with that debt unless an actual miracle from god happens. Like a literal miracle captured in 4k for the world to see.
With all the at home orthodontist options now, money and career prospects are going down in his field. Smile Direct Club and others like it are killing his business. He has to offer cheaper options just to compete.
He said he has his own office and it's growing.
@@buckeye-pe6dfThis didn’t age well, Smile Direct Club just went out of business
To his credit, not only did he go into a well paying field that the world actually needs, but he had the guts to call in, admit his mistake and ask for help.
Yup, admitting the debt out loud is hard. My credit has always been great but I remember one time it being a littlw low credit score. I knew it dropped but I could never get the guts to look at my score. I finally had the guts to just look at it. And it was not as bad as I thought. But you just have to look at debt in the face and say" I see you. I can conquer this "
There's a lot missing from his story, though. I haven't priced orthodontic schools, but there is no way he racked all of that up in one straight run. He probably went to 4 or 5 schools, tried 2 or 3 majors before settling on orthodontics. He also put living expenses on it.
I'm guessing you could get the same degree for under 150,000, probably even less than that.
@@---cr8nw he also probably took out more just to cover expenses and to eat
@@---cr8nw no way, not in the us
Sorry you don't get credit for that
He has enough debt for somebody to retire comfortably off his interest.
But now he does get to cruise on a guaranteed $300k+ per year with no risk.
@@imluvinyourmum yeah idk why people are so worried for this guy. Give it 10 years or less and he will be 100x better off than most people in these comments
@@SamuelMM_Mitosis I think it's just programming by Dave lol.
Apple is billions in debt, it's what the debt is for and the return. If the debt is for an arts degree and u can't even get in the industry because u have no talent and don't put in the effort, that's a bad debt lol.
But if you took out a $500k loan to buy your own truck and start your own logistics business that would guarantee you $200k the first year, that's a good debt.
@@imluvinyourmum well said.
What The you never thought what if he got fired or never got the job, you gotta realize a degree doesn’t mean you’re gone get or keep the job...... and 1,000,000 is hard asf to get just imagine tryna get out 1,000,000 in the negatives you might as well fine for bankruptcy😭💯
This is why I don't trust all dentist's when they say you have a cavity.
😂
Dave Ramsey's insights have been a game-changer for me! His practical approach to financial management has empowered me to take control of my money and work towards a debt-free life. The Total Money Makeover is my go-to guide, and I appreciate how he breaks down complex concepts into easy-to-follow steps.
@TinaMyles bruh
a million bucks in the red and he STILL has a fiance.....
👏👏👏👍👍👍
She's a keeper
Couldn't be me!
shes thinking of the future income....
That's exactly what I thought! I can't even get the time of day. Lol
I heard that True love is real
He sounds ........defeated..I can hear the sadness in his soul......I hope he gets his joy back....I'm praying for him.....
Percy Sherrod Sir/Ma’am, You are right! If things go down farther, he will be close to suicide! I speak from experience!
Yeah, man. Hey, you might like some of my vids

Suddenly my life at the poverty line after being suddenly widowed in 2019 doesn't seem so bad.
@@suzannejones7260 Prayers for you too : )
Pretty sure this guy was featured on “Borrowed Future” and he definitely took the advice. It shows the apartment he lived in and everything. He had it down to 600k at that point. I feel bad for him this is a hard situation.
if doctors didn’t borrow for the future, say goodbye to doctors
@@doctorposting If government didn't guarantee the loans, the colleges would be forced to lower tuition rates.
@@bhe8336BOOM
I owe $400 to the bank and I was so stressed about that, as it’s my only debt, I don’t feel that bad about it anymore

I loved my braces. Best 1,000 bucks I ever spent
@@annagarcia1527 I had to spend like 10k for them
Bro I hear ya fly out to him and everything
This is tough. I feel so sorry for him. A lot of advice us students are given is to just get the degree and worry about paying it off later and then we're told not to work and just focus on school and this is the result unfortunately.
funny how he goes to school (as a career) but not smart enough to figure out his finances. I do not feel sorry for him
@@chloerodgers692 school does not teach finances very well and what they do teach is usually not the best advice anyways. I have never learned anything about finances until actively choosing to myself at 24. There are many people in this same position.
I am baffled. $1,000,000 divided by 8 years is $125,000 a year at College. WHERE was he going to school!!?
dental school is four years
@@bruces26654 years for an undergraduate before they get into dental school, 4 years of dental school, and 2+ years to specialize in something like orthodontics. So he’s been at school at least 10 years.
Imagine if dentistry was only a 4 year degree 😂😭
@@bruces2665 Usually folks do 4 years before dental school.
@@bruces2665 You need a first degree, first. And then, you get to pay those dental school fees, which I just googled.
"Over four years, a dental student can expect to pay anywhere from $210,625 (public school) to $353,008 (private school) and up."
And up.
@@bruces2665 Orthodontist, so I guess there were further years on top of regular dental. Like medical specialists.
He better start an onlyfans as a side job
his fiancee would make more money 😅
😂😂😂😂😂
Does he sound 🔥
Teeth fetish
If he were female, good looking, and had a PC this debt wouldnt be an issue
This is why braces are so expensive. We’re paying off the dentist student loan debt.
🤣
I never feel sorry for the dentist.
If I could give bills like that for working that amount of time I'd be walking around with a Mr Monopoly man hat.

Dudes going to make it. Big mess but he's organized and has a big shovel. I'm pulling for him and his family
I owed 440k after dental school - no residency. My payment was 4500 a month for 25 years. I wasted 3 years trying to”income based” and trying to even mentally process the debt amount. Then I moved to rural area and lived on my husbands 60 k income and put my yearly 180k ( after tax) income all into the debt. And after 2 years i began to breathe a little. I still owe 60k though haha. My body aches from overworking past 7 years and i think i was suicidal every other month but i made it. Nobody understands this kind of debt - student loans go to grave with you and no bankruptcy. DONT GET INTO THIS KINDA DEBT. Being a doctor is not worth it because you will handle doctor level stress with NO gratification whatsoever.
Glad you're near the end of your loan! I'm a dentist myself; luckily total debt was $220,000. I plan on paying it off myself in the next about 6 months.
Let's finish strong!
@@Trewq79 220k is nothing! Idunno if you are a new grad but can do that in a year or two . Don’t listen to other ppl saying invest in your CE and office and pay off slow while maximizing. Yes, a good running practice will give you wealth but it takes YEARS to get there while ur interest doubles and triples. You can do all that more effectively AFTER you paid off your debt.
Anyways I guess this July we shall have something to celebrate about 🍾🍾🍾🍾

Go watch the Borrowed Future documentary. He makes an appearance.
$1 million in non-bankruptable debt.... This hurts my soul.
Practical Bible Studies drive the dagger through my heart
at least he has a degree and a career. Many people go incredibly into debt, and don't have a degree to show for it.
@Orthodoxy or Death
It’s true. Only way student loan debt goes away is by payment or death. 😢
Orthodoxy or Death This is America, where we feel pressured to pay a ton of money for things we don’t need. Student loans must be paid back. There’s absolutely no way out other than death or paying it. It’s creating the next economic bubble that could be the end of the American economy.
Mike Brown (Bassist) I agree that bankruptcy isn’t something to just get a free pass. But if someone has a bad enough set of circumstances, there can be grounds for bankruptcy. His situation is certainly manageable right now.
Well I'm done complaining about my S13,000 Student loan

I told a coworker yesterday that I’m gonna save up $200,000 so I can buy a house straight cash and he told me that’s impossible. Time to prove this boy wrong.
Save up enough to buy a house for $100,000 cash or less then you're living rent and mortgage free and then you only have to save up another $100,000 or so as it should be far easier with your increased cash flow. Sell the present house to go towards your new forever home added together with you $100,000+ savings and you got this. Definitely doable as it should only take you 4 to 5 years maybe less. Good luck and continue being a leader.
Very possible. If you earn 70k a year save 40k. Live wayy below your means
Your Co-worker jealous. Anyone that tells me I cannot do something. I make a sure point of doing it. Who are they? No one important. Go change that dream into reality.
Yes!! Do it man!!
Not impossible at all. You can do it
He should write a book called "The Negative Millionaire Next Door."
I saw this guy’s story in Borrowed Future. Really heartbreaking
Business idea to become rich: open up an orthodontist university, I just need one student and I'm set for life.
😂💰

Thanos: everything
Brilliant!
😂
when I heard him say that the interest is $5800 A MONTH, my heart dropped
Same omg. That's more than the vast majority of Americans make period.
Same 🥸
Right. That's my rent, health and car insurance, car note, food, gas, groceries, water, and light bill with some international travel money left over. 😳😳😳
Actually, if he will be earning $250K per year, he should be able to live on only $100K, he and his wife. Other folks can live comfortably with that. With that, he should be able to pay about $10K per month on the loan. Just set up direct deposit and forget about it. Just say his income is $100K per year and forget it. Let the autopayment take over.
Ikr!!! Wth!
I love Dave's reaction @4:10 - we're all Dave at that moment.
I wouldnt marry someone with that much debt, its so much stress. Money problems are a huge reason why relationships dont work.
Caller: _"I have a million dollars in debt"_
Dave: *_*breathes with difficulty*_*
@ fsmoura - while several listeners have to lie down with their feet elevated higher than their heads . . .
Lol yea I think Dave had to pop a nitro tab under his tongue for the chest pains he had after this call
Dyspnea... haha
It would be funny if Dave calmly said: ''OK how much do you owe on your car?"
I have to click out of these videos sometimes because it’s gives me too much second hand anxiety.
I don’t think even Dave was confident about this one today.
Put some teeth under his mutual fund pillow at 12%.
The 1 million dollars threw him off so much it looked like he forgot the question for a second.
Yeah it’s one of those you’ll be okay lines.
@Johnny Five, he knows exactly what to say: stop guaranteeing loans and start underwriting them again. The "crisis" is that we're allowing it to continue getting worse.
how much is his interest, 5800 or 50800???
He has the title and the debt. I've met a couple of Dr's in the same position. Stay strong.
God bless this man. God bless his courage and his hope. god bless him. Must be so scary. x
“It gives me an anxiety attack and it’s not even my debt”. Me too Dave 🤯
Vanessa's World I saw a millionaire asking for food at the food bank. This is the guy.
His situation is not as it appears. He will over the life of his career earn 10 million minimum. And with good wealth creation he can easily obtain a net worth of 20 million.
He is the 1% of the 1% in that he has graduated with a fellowship in his specialist field of dentistry. That means he has done dentistry school and then orthodontic training.
I would say what he has done is worth it. The one million does seem extreme but in the big picture it is nothing.
Now if he graduated architecture or physio with 1 million that would be a different tale.
I can relate! When my friends/family tell me about their debt, I freak out. I have $12K in student loans left to pay and that stresses me out enough. When I hear people say they have 100s of thousands in debt, it affects me emotionally lol
Yes! I thought the same!
Student loan debt is for suckers
Who were the idiots giving 1 million in students loans to one person!
He is a dentist and just finished his residency for orthodontic; good income is guaranteed. Low risk loan in my book.
Rootless Tool lender is insured by the government though. They have no risk, therein lies the problem.
Rootless Tool the lender is you, that’s the problem. The federal government guarantees them and we will all be stuck with the bill when this blows up while the 3rd party lenders and schools get unimaginably rich
Rootless Tool HAHAHA NO

This is an oldie but a good one. A lesson for students: be prudent about what you are borrowing, and pay the interest along the way to keep the balances from growing. My kids have loans and are still in school. I pay just the interest, and more when i can. We've already paid a few off. Your loan servicer shows you how much interest has accumulated and you can calculate it each month. At least pay that. Hopefully this guy made some progress during the COVID pause.
Am I the only one who thinks his fiancé is the best thing happened to him ? She is on board with him, accepted his gigantic debt, helps him in office and doesn’t even take money for her work ... dude you are so lucky
she is such a soul man
This is VERY true. So many times women try to take from you. She is giving this man life.
She's probably just a stupid as he is
“She doesn’t take any income out of the office” meaning she doesn’t get salary anywhere else. She gets paid through his practice. Many people do that as it serves a tax advantage. I am not saying she is less supportive by doing that. Just correcting the facts
@@SummeRain783 thank you for the info I appreciate it and yes I agree doesn’t make her any less supportive but good to know this tax advantage arrangement appreciated
Don’t own. Don’t even rent. Live in that friggin office. Set up a couple cots and get a microwave and a one burner stove.

Yes, there is no definitive proof that it is fake, but all you need is common sense to put 2 and 2 together that the chances this was an honest caller are astronomically low.
I remember graduating with $105k student loan as a Pharm.D back 10 years ago… oh boy the excitement of getting your schooling done quickly replaced by the anxiety of paying this 105k loan.

That guy through his own practice will have a lifetime career earnings about of about $10 million. And that does not include wealth creation.
+theron12
That guy is going to earn some money throughout his career. The million looks like a large number but his life time career earnings around going to be around 10 million and with wealth building he could easily be hitting 20 million in wealth valuations.
@@Bae_mackx I have exactly the same thought. I agree with your comment!
"How are you?" "I'm doing well Dave. Anyway, I'm a million dollars in debt"
😭
That’s a good man.
I wouldn’t know what to say good god.
🤣🤣
Happens a lot on Dave's show lol. First sentence is an upbeat greeting, second sentence is a statement of unbearable financial pain
This shouldn’t happen. We need orthodontists, doctors, medical professionals. Why do we punish people with A MILLION dollars of debt and interest for pursuing these fields? This is horrible. It’s not like the guy went a million into debt for a nothing degree. We wonder why people don’t want to have kids, why we have a shortage of medical professionals, etc. absolutely criminal that universities and student loan companies are allowed to do this to people. It terrifies me that the problem will only get worse with time. Pretty soon no one will be able to see a doctor because there won’t be any, because we have allowed this to happen. Why would anyone in their right mind saddle themselves with this much debt? Few will I’ll bet, and we will be in trouble when we can’t see a doctor.
As for your last comment Dave - that’s a bad take. I’d understand if he got an art degree, but this man is going into the medical field to help others. We ALL need doctors and setting people up for failure with that much debt will have consequences for decades.
Same reason we pay a shit ton for health insurance or for services out of pocket..... because they make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year once they are working
You dont, this guy chosed that path
One word control debt is how the system controls these professionals
@@auemmjeeThe money is not really on the clinicians. The money makers are the insurance companies. If you look at their profit, you will say that what clinicians make is not really that big
He chose to rack up $1 million, likely spent years in private college, borrowing the max and having $250,000 in debt before even starting orthodontist school. I met several people like that - racked up 6 figure debt over 5-6 years and then commit to professional school for another $250k. And all those loans accrue interest while your in school. Even borrowing 100% of tuition and living expenses he could have graduated with about $250k in debt - the other $750k is a choice.
Dave was speechless for a moment because he didn’t want to be to tough with the guy … extreme cases… I would say God bless you and hang up because it is overwhelming to even think about it 😅
Jeez.... he opened his office right before quarantine.... let's hope this man is still alive....
In Florida though. Interest also stopped accruing. Corona could’ve actually saved him!

his loan will be forgiven in a few years and then he will just start racking up the money while we the tax payers pay off his debt.
mujjuman as you should as education cost for dentists is high bc anyone can get loans & not finish college which is 40%+ (;
That sucks lol
@@mujjuman Only if you are on PSLF and working as an employee at a public hospital is all debt forgiven (this takes 10 years not a "few" brah...). Not true at all for REPAYE or PAYE, where even if the debt is forgiven in 20 years you still have the tax bomb for all the unpaid debt. This dude will still be paying at least $300k in debt BARE MINIMUM the REPAYE/PAYE route!
At this level of debt, I will leave the country and move to Africa. Listening to this is already stressing me. Can’t imagine having this load of debt. Only in America. Unbelievable!

$1,000,000 in debt and he makes $250,000 a year? No big deal. No wonder going to the dentist costs so damn much!!!
pre tax, out of those 250k around 40% will go on tax. Above that they have to live, so basic needs will cost around 30-40k per year (depending on their lifestyle). So yeah it is a big deal.
His fiancé must really love him to marry him with that amount of debt. That’s insane. 5800 dollars of INTEREST PER MONTH?!?! My heart rate is going through the roof With that.
At least he has a high income skill, he's attacking the issue not complaining about it, gotta respect that
that is true, but I can't believe school should cost anyone that much. My wife is a lawyer and her student debt is 1/4 of that. That's a doctorate too.
@@baldkat82 The lawyer makes 120K and the ortho dentist makes 230K according to bls. Also this dude probably went to a private school. At a public he would have about 400K + residency.
@@crimansizers5840 my wife makes 250k, not even as a practicing attorney but as compliance director, and went to private school for undergrad and grad. She passed the bar too. His college costs just don't make sense.
@@baldkat82 I agree, it should be 400K if he was smart(er). That being said I was citing averages. I know an ortho dude that makes ~ 375K and owns his practice.
Christopher Homer Dental school can cost up to half a million dollars in tuition, plus living expenses. Also need to take into consideration undergraduate and a possible master’s tuition and living expenses. All that interest could be accruing while in dental school I think? Also not sure if the dental residences have fees. It does make sense when you consider all of this because dental schools are not cheap in the slightest. They cost more than medical schools and if you only get into one dental school and it happens to be one of the highest in tuition, you have to go there. It looks really bad to apply to dental school a second time if you got in somewhere else but turned them down, you could jeopardize your chances of getting into a school and then would have all that debt with not a high enough salary to repay it.
1M in student debt?? I didn't even know that was possible!!
How did that happen
he’ll be making 500k+/ year in no time. If he works for 30 years, 15M is worth the 1M of debt. There’s a reason why dental schools feel like they can charge that much
@@mjwahba Assuming he keeps his job for 30 years.
Especially for an orthodontist
@@MadOrange644 he’s self employed .... has his own clinic, you think he’ll fire himself?
Student loan debt is the worst mistake that most young people make. I’m glad I dropped out of school in the 10th grade and got to work actually making money instead of partying and dreaming in school.
Yeah… you had me until you said you dropped out of 10th grade. I’ve always believed College should depend on the person, but EVERYONE should get a highschool degree at the minimum. You’re lucky someone was willing to hire someone without even a highschool diploma
It’s crazy that student loan debt isn’t tax deductible, it’s the epitome of a thing you need to purchase before you can make money in your trade.
401k can come out of your paycheck before taxes so you can save for retirement, but we’re gonna tax the shit out of the money you need to pay off before you can start your retirement.
I don’t even have student loans, this is just absurd.
Almost $6000 a month in interest!! Ouch!
That makes me saaaaad
His income is 180 after taxes. Putting 120k is the most... Dave is nuts...
That makes me sick
Josh if his income is 180k after taxes he should live on 30-35k and put 145-150k on debt.
Two people can live in Florida on less than $120k/yr, net.
this is why dentists want to take every one's wisdom teeth out at age 14
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
yeah, really gives you a ton of trust that your dentist has your best interest at heart, right? :D hail capitalism.
And fill teeth and then cap the same tooth later.
They wanted to take mine and said there was no room. They've grown in fine
@brandon I was 30.
I am in a similar situation as this guy. My husband and I got married and went to medical school together and long residency training programs with a split income as we were not even in the same city plus all the expenses of travel to see one another. Neither of us come from money. We have a mill between the two of us. We have more earning potential though. We are likely to to make about 500k or more a year combined before taxes. I'm still nauseous thinking about it. I still don't understand if it's better to pay off high interest low sum loans first or low interest high sum loans or pay all together.
Always start with the high interest loans, it will save you more money long term.
Good luck, I was in your shoes but in a less extreme situation.
To me it depends on what the differential is. If your high balance loan, combined with the given interest rate is such that you are still paying more real dollars in interest every month, you want to bring that down to the point where you are paying less interest than the low bal/high interest loan. You need to calculate it out - it's not just a matter of interest rate, it's a matter of how much you're losing in interest.

tjbalistic That’s funny you mention that. I recently went to a new dental office and the owner had just spent thousands of dollars on all new high tech equipment and decor. Guess what, he quoted me $4000 in dental work that I “needed ASAP”....went to another practice and I only needed $600 worth of work.
Megan Mawhinney kind of sounds like a car dealership. Go in for standard brake work, get quoted for a new engine and transmission.
Dentists are notorious for doing this. I work alongside dentists who tell me they do this to make extra money. Always get a second opinion and don't tell the second dentist what the first quoted you.
