Best Repayment Strategies for Veterinarians with Six-Figure Student Debt
with Rob Bertman, CFA, CFP®
The majority of veterinarians graduate with sizable student debt, very little loan forgiveness options, and getting mixed information from their loan servicer. Rob will show how to select the right repayment strategy for paying back six-figures of student loans on a DVM income as well as tactics to improve overall net worth and reach other financial goals at the same time. Come to this presentation if you finally want some clear, easy to understand explanations and simple strategies of how to save the most money paying back your veterinary school student loans. Takeaways: Attendees will leave with an understanding of the various repayment options available to them, which ones are ideal, and which ones will end up costing them more money in the long run. Learn about advanced strategies to reduce the cost of paying back the loans while growing overall net worth at the same time. Understand how debt amount, income, and marriage affect student loan repayment using anonymous case studies. Impact: Student debt is a major problem for veterinarians, one that causes them to feel like they perhaps made a poor career choice. After this presentation, they will gain clarity on what repayment could look like and how to build up their wealth even with having massive student debt. It provides great relief and helps them feel much more in control of their debt, allowing them to enjoy practising veterinary medicine again.
