Your PA Mentor - From Physician Assistant Student to PA-C - How I Paid Off $150,000 of Student Loan Debt in Less Than 5 Years

How I Paid Off $150,000 of Student Loan Debt in Less Than 5 Years

08/19/20 • 35 min

Your PA Mentor - From Physician Assistant Student to PA-C

I paid off $150,000 of student loan debt in less than 5 years. If I was smarter, I could have done it in 2-3 years.

Except I wasn’t all that smart at 26 years old.

I didn’t know anything about high interest rates or refinancing.

I have always been told that student loan debt is part of the college culture. It's woven into society, and it is accepted as a normal part of life.

But you know what nobody tells you about student loans?

They are a motherf%*^#* burden!

A burden that is keeping many new professionals from moving forward in their lives. A burden that keeps them stuck in financial fear.

In this episode, Erin and I talk about:

➕ The definition of financial freedom and what it means to be debt free

➕Why you should pay off your student loans ASAP

➕ The exact method I used to pay off $150,000 of student loan debt

➕ How Erin is paying down her debt on a single income

➕ Other loan repayment options

If you’re ready to tackle your loans, press PLAY now!

And as always, don’t forget to subscribe to our podcast and rate/review! Thank you, FAM!
