I stayed at home for med school and my parents helped me out so I owed 30k Did you pay your debt in your first year of residency? I will be graduating with almost 50K of debt and I was just curious.

Everyone that I know lives on their own or with a roommate. At some point, you do want to become independent and live on your own, just saying I find that you learn a lot about yourself. But finishing medical school with 30 K is a pretty sweet deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to worry about meals etc and was so busy in residency I could just focus on studying and work and sleep. personally I thinking living on your own and finding yourself is over rate but to each their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also jealous of you able to paying off your debt during 1st year of residency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
