How We Paid Off $662K With No Family Help #475

Show Notes

SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show!

In this episode, we share our complete story – how we went from $662,000 in medical school debt to completely debt-free in just three years, as first-generation doctors without any family financial blueprint.

You'll hear:

Why we accrued over $100,000 in interest (and how to avoid it)
The exact moment we decided to pay off our debt aggressively
Our real budget: $200/month groceries, $50/month fast food
The sacrifices we made (and whether they were worth it)
Why we're creating this podcast specifically for first-gen doctors

If you're the first doctor in your family navigating medicine without the insider knowledge your colleagues inherited, this is your community.

Rated 5 out of 5

This is such an inspiring podcast! Every episode is better than the last! I just got into medical school and Dr. Darko has made me realize that the medical field has countless opportunities in addition to being physicians. We only get one life so let’s make it count and LIVE OUTSIDE THE BOX! Thank you again for all you do, Dr. Darko! I can’t thank you enough!

Thank you so much, Dr. Darko, for finding and then broadcasting the amazing, game-changing work of doctors working outside (and inside) the box. I already had my first bout of professional burnout less than a few years out of residency, but listening to your podcast has inspired me to get my head back in the game and perhaps, find my own unique contribution.

I wish this was around when I was a med student – I can’t say enough about how helpful this has been in pointing out things we as physicians don’t think about. Dr. Darko takes you through these interviews with the ease of a conversation with your colleague and you feel like he’s having aha moments right with you!
