Dr Webb: I have $500k in student loan
Dave Ramsey: Beans and rice. Rice and beans
I really don't like Dave and his philosophies. I'm also not to fawn of bringing religion into finances, which he does a lot.
There are bits and pieces of ramseys stuff that is really good advice that I've used, but there's a lot of his ideas that aren't very practical and won't work for most people.
@@christiangarcia2319 For example?
@@patrickhull9231 Stuff I agree with examples: his method of paying of credit card debt, keeping track of every dollar you make and spend, buying a reliable used vehicle instead of a new one.
Stuff I disagree with examples: disregarding credit scores and never taking out any types of lines of credit, not taking out student loans under any circumstances, super risk averse on investing.
That's just off the top of my head
In the exact same boat. Tried the Ramsey method and nearly lost my mind doing so. It’s not exactly practical. Especially when you have already been stretching $20 in many different directions for years. You gotta live a little!
I still can’t believe you’re an attending now! I remember when you were a resident!
Crazy huh!!
Can't believe you've been practicing for half a year! Time flew by
Crazy! I just saw a patient back in my office that I did surgery on 6 months ago 😳
The moral of the story is: Even though you have been studying, grinding, and sacrificing for fifteen years, it's not time to go wild and buy the second home in the Bahamas yet. Your attending physician slot at the hospital could be terminated due to the uncertainties caused by the current plague.
Yes, 100% correct.
Lmao this dude said plague. Go outside please
plague...?

I appreciate how difficult it is to be this honest online, when things don't go like we hoped. Your authenticity and vulnerability in the space that is RUclips is noted and appreciated. I wish you and your lovely family the best in these upcoming weeks and months.
There is nothing wrong with wanting a financial safety net. That is what savings are for.
Investing is massively different than savings. A person should have a financial safety net before they start investing.
True
Awesome video Dr. Webb, thank you so much for your transparency! 🙏🏽 I’m going to graduate next year with about $275,000 in student loans and I’m applying into neurology, hoping to specialize in pain management. The debt keeps me awake at night sometimes, but hearing stories like yours really helps put things into a perspective of manageability :)

Man you lost weight. Keep it up!
It's been a while since I watched a vid. I was thinking the same.
Bro, he did. Maybe its part of being frugal.
i was just boutta say, he looks great
My wife and I have been paying towards our student loans. We paid hers off this month. I have significantly more to pay off, but we are working on a snowball payment system. My loans should be paid off in a couple years. Got about $60k to go.
Awesome!! Keep going 💪🏾💪🏾
@Joe Troll Should be able to request it back in court.
Nice video, meanwhile I held stock for long time and invested in Bitcoin am 27 years old and I've about 370k investment ln spite the pandemic. However it's really a life changer.

@@antoniowebbmd I wish you the best of luck !!!! I’m 16 and I’ve been watching your videos since I was like in middle school I wish I could be just like you in the future dr ❤️
I haven’t paid anything either on my student loans but saved the information from this video for when I am ready.
So interest rates for school loans can be as high as 15% where as mortgage rates are generally 2-3% (as of July 2021) yet you cannot default/declare bankruptcy on a school loan but you can default/declare bankruptcy on a mortgage. Given that, why are school loan interest rates not capped at a certain amount above the prime interest rate.
It’s a modern debt slavery trap
Just commenting to aid in the algorithm 👋
I wonder how many views he needs to replace the income he lost due to the pandemic.
500k... student loans are insane! I'm sorry! Something is very broken in this system.
The government is guaranteeing loans to kid in college so Colleges raise tuitions because they’ll get the money no matter what. Shit is stupid
@@ownthispwn this is completely unethical. Terrible policy. Only winners are the banks and administrators at over priced low quality universities. Very sad that it also makes most degrees worthless.
Same debt to become a dentist which only earn 200k it is insane
Yeah it's criminal coming out of uni to be met with half a million in debt
In Austria you only pay €20 tuition each semester for medical university, you only have to pay about €350 for rent and you even get €200 from the government each month. Of course you don't make close to what physicians in the US make after you graduate. (ofc it's very competitive to get into university tho)
Paying down student debt is certainly preferable to spending on frivolities, but my advice to my daughter, who is soon to start accumulating student debt in law school, is to pay as little toward debt as possible when she starts her career and put as much as she possibly can into savings, until she has easy coverage of at least 6 months expenses. I think it is especially important for young professionals to get in a position ASAP where they are not dependent on the next paycheck. So if the senior partner asks them to do something a bit fishy, they can say no and walk away without having to worry about rent next week.
I am not sure what stage of school she is in but have her look up videos about scholarship money for law schools. I know multiple people who went to law school debt free. It is really dependent on her LSAT and GPA as well whichever school she chooses. Have her talk to lawyers very few will tell you the loans are worth it to go to a certain school. Especially if she knows where she wants to live and practice.
Great advice
So yah boy got like over 80k saved up ready for COVID! I can’t wait I need this.
I wish rappers and scammers could see this. He worked hard for a few months doing the right thing and made that type of money instead of robbing, murdering and selling his wife body.
Thanks!
More like worked hard for 15 years of school going into massive debt and getting paid literally minimum wage for all of residency, then worked hard for a few months and managed to save 80k
Mannnnnn this was click bait esque. No reason why it took you 14min to tell us you've done nothing to your loan.
As a new attending, I paid fed student loans minimally for 4 years, while i paid off private and personal loan debt. I couldnt refinance my fed loans because my credit was too bad. When the pandemic hit around tax time, I looked at what I brought home and said, "not this year". Then the govt paused interest. I paid off a little more than $150000 in 1 year. Then I quit my corporate medicine job, lol. Best decision ever.
Honestly you can pay off your student loans with RUclips alone. If you can get your views and subs up, the student loans will be gone in a year. Are your videos monetized?
Hey !!! Nice vid as always I watched your two other videos in the past. At some point I will be making my videos about my loan jaja !!! You got this, I am sure you will make the right moves and decisions.
Awesome!!

Video: "includes paid promotion"
Get it bro!
Congratulations man you did it! 👏🏽
Student loan debt is a real wealth stealer! Much success and blessings to you Dr. Webb in your journey towards paying them off
Great video Dr. Webb! Can you please make a video outlining all of the general monthly payments you have to make every month considering loans, overhead, employees, etc? The business side of medicine is definitely something that's neglected and not spoken of much of the time. It would be a great thing as another practical aspect people should consider before going into medicine and how it may vary in different fields.
Also how you really have to think about what kind of service you'd be providing, as for many specialties, the only way to really make money is through prescriptions of operations. This may not be the best way to practice medicine, so people should really consider the fact that medicine is really not the field to make money, but you will have debt and costs to attend to if you go the academics, pracademics, or private practice way.
I'm really interested in this business side of things and I hope more people start to look at medicine from the perspective of what service will they be providing in a practical sense and if the opportunity cost/cost-benefit ratio really worth it.
Dr. Webb are there any grants out there?
Dr Webb Thankyou for the information! Dr Webb which screen or website were you looking at the stock market on your phone? It looked interesting.
when i see someone saying they have 500k loans for school im kind of glad i live in finland where studying is free
Nothing is “free”
@@dmitrywall595 shure but my 13% income tax isnt going to make 500k during my lifetime so compared to what you get in usa for paying same amount of taxes i can consider many things like school and medical care to be free :)
They definitely got the better deal than having to pay the entirety of the 500k
Yes, finally! Thank you for this video.
You American blokes are so unlucky with the amount you have to pay. In Australia studying medicine costs way less.
Some people may disagree violently with me but...... I think that Bitcoin is a total scam and a totally flawed concept.
I am from Europe.
If you go to medical school (MD, college) here you pay around 2.5k usd in university fees p.a. (during covid its only 1200 usd p.a.)
I honestly dont understand why the “barriers-to-entry” need to be so high in the usa, when there is a huge need for md’s going forward...?
The pay is very different. Physicians tend to make in the high six figures in the U.S., whereas in Europe, physicians don't make comparable salaries.
@@lenaprice6239 Only high six figures for a few specialities, normally more around 250k a year but still MUCH more than Europe. Only orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, ophthalmologists, maybe busy sub specialties in general surgery, plastics are making high six figures (above 500k). Even then you’ll find many of these people under 500k unless they’re working like crazy
I thought ppl who were in the Military get free school
Omg!!! And I thought my $78,000 was alot!!!!! If you bought a home, how did you do that?
He obviously makes a lot of money and has the potential of making more. He also could have gotten physicians mortgage loan.
Thanks for the update. As an MD PhD student, I will be finishing medical school in 2023 with no debt. I was curious what you would suggest doing as an intern and through residency given that I can direct more of my funds towards savings and investing? Keep up the good work
Whether you’re a spine surgeon or a street cleaner.....finance management is just stressful. There’s no escape.
.......Unless you take the red pill
Wats the red pill
@@stignatius1625 suicide pill. To leave to the next world, if it exists.
switch to working in a hospital till the pendemic is over you will make more in that case I guess
So very wise to set aside money to protect your family and business right now. Very, very wise.
What are your thoughts on doing Public Service Loan Forgiveness versus paying off the loans immediately? My residency counted 3 years, and I have an academic job now which counts towards PSLF. WCI and other sites say I should do PSLF and invest the other money but part of wants to just get rid of it.
500k that I planned to pay off in 2yrs!! Y’all keep complaining that he has all that debt but what’s the upside!!? You can’t beat that business. Become a doctor has to be the greatest get rich medium quick scheme.
Yeah so quickly he is 14 years in and is -500k, a bright guy like him could have done business or engineering and made 6 figures from the get go w out the debt or time
@@peytonmanthing6533 Some people prefer the upside of a high salary every year for life even if they have to delay it for more years. Also with business and engineering, the higher salaries come from being promoted or changing companies which will also take a few years. With becoming a doctor that high salary is guaranteed once out of training.

This is nothing. Be thankful that you have the opportunity to apply to student loans over there in your country, some of us aren't that lucky and have to suck it while studying and having a full time job simultaneously.
Yoy looks like chidi that teaches about spine instead of philosophy
Are there many Physician Assistants in Orthopedic Oncology?
There’s PA’s in just about every specialty, however their autonomy is obviously limited as they are not physicians.
For surgery I know they are first assists sometimes.
I’m currently unemployed. Should I still refinance my private loans?
Thus pandemic has turned everything upside down.
He looks like a darker Dak Prescott in this video 😂
That’s my cousin 🤣
@@antoniowebbmd Dak Prescott is your cousin??
I went with common bond 6 months ago and im pretty happy with them. The only complaint I would give would be if you pay extra and use auto pay it will lower your monthly payment so that you are still making payments for the lifespan of the loan vs paying it off early. so you basically have to go back and manually pay the difference each month(which isnt really a big deal).
How do you even get a bank or loan service to actually loan you 500k?
He is a surgeon. He will be fine.
It is incredibly easy to get student loans. I went to medical school in the Caribbean and almost everyone has a student loan of 400K to 500K
Good info and advice Dak Presscott
Hahahhahaha Dak wishes he could be as much of a leader as Dr. Webb, Dak relies on Jerry to pay the rest of his team, dr Webb takes care of his team himself
That’s funny because I think he lives in Austin ,Texas, where the cowboys play their games 😂😂😂
PPP, PPP!!!!
Have you considered having a financial planner join you for one of your videos?
Very smart man.
So sad how these young students sacrifice their lifetime to go through education and end up struggling with loans,Good luck
500k in two years … 4 instead.. wowza you surgeons earn ALOT if you can pay off that kind money in such short time. It’s obviously well deserved not many people can do what you do.
I do believe doctors/dentist that go into public health should have their debt absolved after they have served 10 years of working in regular practice and also working in free clinics. Kind of like teachers that work in impoverished areas.
This is what Iam thinking I owe 97k as of today, just private loans at 5.2% and all Iam thinking is to stop paying... I mean do I really need credit ?? Can’t I just have everything on my wife’s name so nothing can be taken away plus no wage garnishment in PA so I don’t know I could just lease my cars and do a single lease payment instead of letting student loans drain the life out of me... let’s face it you only need credit for 2 things ... a house and a car that’s it ....
Dr. Webb, please consider a student loan update irrespective of your progress. Thanks
Great video! Are you firm regarding your decision on the military. I was thinking that your loan could be forgiven in return for military service? also continuing ed and additional training opportunities? How can I get a T-shirt? :)
What drove you to take 500k in student loans?
As opposed to?
That's how I look Miss Sally Mae
I’m paying mines down to $10,000 USD which is the amount i believe Congress will vote to forgive. It’s 0%: no way that goes forever, I’m getting out this year.
You losing weight ma dude?? Looking good
Doc, iwe been in the crypto sphere for years... but i don't think you should invest into cryptos unless your willing to put down the time to research and understand it.
So if you don't have the genuine intrest or time to learn... don't bother there are other ways that are less volatile for long term savings :)
Oh and cryptocoins is like a religion so... i'm sure you get a lot of preachers saying it's the way to go lol
Me and wife are taking advantage of the 0% interest...we’re trying to pay off her student loans ASAP so we are paying lump sums currently with this 0% interest...would definitely advise anyone to do this to knock that principal balance down even faster....
Current plans
1) Moonlight while still in residency in order to pay down preexisting credit card debt
2) Live like a resident for up to 5yrs after residency (1.5 yrs left until graduation)
3) Refinance private loans if possible
4) Consider any and all means to increase revenue as a full time physician, via additional revenue streams
5) Aggressively pay down debt.
The real #1 is CREATE A BUDGET. Every dollar should have a destination.
plenty of peoiple in need of spine surgeons....you are in demand
How old were you when you became an attending?
Hi, Dr. Webb. Any way I can contact you privately?
My guy, if possible; get 5-10k and invest it in a ETF or index fund. They are recovering really well after Covid. It can shorten your years of paying your loans.
It’s better than saving on the long run.
Damn. How much you get paid though?
Dr. Webb, you forgot to add the card for different routes after residency like private practice. Would love to watch that video. Currently a waitlisted aspiring medical student. Cant wait to start this journey!
It depends on how you feel about debt, but paying it off as fast as possible might not be the most financially beneficial way to proceed. For instance if your loan is at a 3% interest, and you could invest money to make 7%. Then in the end you would end up with more money at the end of the loan if you invested and paid the minimum on your loan. However, there is some risk involved, so it depends on how well you know investing and how risk adverse you are. I know you didn't ask for my opinion, but there it is. You seem like a stand up guy and I'm sure you'll deal with that debt in your own way.
BTW I'm not suggesting investing money that you could need in the near future, like an emergency fund.
If your interest rates are low on your loans I’d recommend to not be that aggressive with your payments. You can invest the money you’d otherwise use to pay off the student loans and make more money at the end of the day on top of it. There is a reason not all doctors pay off their loans immediately
I hope your doing alright Webb
Keep in mind people will have to pay there tax bracket in the stock market unless they know a loop hole
How is it even possible to have such a student loan. If you go to the most expensive medical university in Europe there wouldn't even be anything near of the loans that you guys have in US.
But you guys earn a lot also so i guess it even out
Univerisities here in the US are very expensive, and the cost for medical school here is even higher, due to the cost and number of yrs you have to complete a medical degree...
There is no problem in paying off a loan. You incurred the debt and it needs to be paid. What is right is right however you pay for the loan. Keep up the good work . If the present situation is not working change. Change.
😱😱😱😱500k in debt dang thats rough. Be worth it tho after u get paid off
I want to invest more but I agree that I wouldn’t want to take the chance to lose money while also being in debt
Wait, I don’t get it. If you couldn’t operate, how can you make money to pay for that overhead? Do you earn a base salary in private practice + surgery money?
How old are you when you started med school?
Hey doctor I have been following up your videos...I wanted to ask you something about Nigerian students that goes to another foreign country to study medicine and wants to practice in america...for example I will use myself for example actually I am in Russia particular in Moscow in Rudn university studying medicine and the language of instruction is in Russian language.. I heard alot about foreigners trying to practice in america... I was like it is better for me to just leave the license exam and concentrate more on the misheavous Russian language and when I am done I can now fully concentrate on the license exam n perform well what are your decision...I dont want later I will be regretting
How much is overhead costs for radiologists?
I am my daughter student loan. I work during Covid i was able to make payment. It is a good thing i am not paying interest at this time
Keep it up doc!!!
Now we know why he is on RUclips 🙄🙄🙄
Hey... novice here. Does having such a large amount of debt for so long negatively impact credit score?
500 grand, yea med school tuition is at a tipping point. Likely socialized medicine, or whatever, but as it is wont last
Idk how socialized medicine will lower medical school prices just physician pay
