To eliminate your medical school debt in 365 days, it will take a lot of commitment from the physician, a lot of motivation and will power. It could mean denying yourself some luxuries today, but giving you the opportunity to live a debt free life in the future. Imagine having your salary for you and your family’s desires alone and not to have one bill or the other reaching for it. Below are some strategies that will have you taking out big bites out of that debt pie and have it gone as soon as possible.

o Maintain Residency Budget

o Live Within Your Means

o Locum Tenes

o Do Not Take On New Debt

o Pay High Interest Loans First

Maintain Your Residency Budget

As a resident or fellow you have perfected the art of frugal living and you do not spend money unnecessarily. You have a budget that you stick to and rarely shift from. Ideally your first job outside your training will be two times or three times your salary as a doctor in training. If you maintain your expenses at your residency level, you will then have more resources to throw at your medical school loans which will reduce it drastically.

Live Within Your Means

Getting a job after your graduate training gives you the extra resources to do those things which have only been distant thoughts. You could buy a new car; new cloths take a vacation or get a bigger house. However, to pay off our debt in the least possible time it is important that you only take care of important needs and not wants. Do things you need to do and live your wants for layer when you have eliminated your medical school debt.

Locum Tenes

Having an extra steady salary coming in could do a lot of good for your bottom line. Find out if the policies of the present place you are working for allows their physicians to get extra outside work. Once you get the green light find a few hours and add some extra income to your salary, increasing the tools you have to tackle your debt.

Do Not Take On New Debt

To eliminate your debt as soon as possible it is important that you do not take on any new debt. Taking on new debt will start to compete directly with the resources you have available for tackling your medical school loans. Debts like buying a new home, a new car and other major expenses should be put off until your loans are done.

Pay Smaller Loans First

If you have more than one lender, you could consolidate your loans and have one monthly payment. However, if you got your loan from one lender at different times with different rates, it is not necessary to consolidate. Start paying off your loans with the smallest amount first while paying the minimum for the other loans. What this does is that it gives you small victories early on and encourages you to keep on going. After each loan you pay off, add that amount to the next smallest loan amount and keep o going at it. In no time you will have a huge amount to channel to servicing your debts and will have it done in no time.

Getting rid of your medical school loans can be done in 12 months or slightly more depending on the amount owed and the physician’s commitment. Lenders normally give about 6 month grace period before they need you to start making monthly payments after you graduate from residency training. Do not wait for those six months, call them up and start servicing the loans as soon as your paycheck starts coming in. Money is one of those things that does not like to stick around with any one person for long, if you do not give it to Aunty Sallie right away, it will find its way to Uncle Lexus. The choice is yours.

There are only two benefits of consolidating school loans. You get to choose your monthly repayment plan, and you only have to make one monthly payment that will be considerably lower. If you have the money to make the multiple loan payments, consolidation will not be a help to you.

If you can’t make the multiple loan payments now, or you think it will become a problem in the future, then consolidation is for you. There is one thing you must remember. Although the loan consolidation will lower your monthly payments, it will also raise the amount of total interest you will pay by lengthening the amount of time you have to repay the loan.

Students who have turned to private loans face a different situation. Unlike the fixed interest rate on federal loans, private loans have variable interest rates. Most students don’t have a high credit rating when they are in college so they end up paying higher interest rates on private loans. If they have been paying monthly payments on a credit card while going to college, their credit rating may have risen considerably, allowing them to get a loan with lower interest. If so, loan consolidation can save them a considerable amount of money.

Another advantage of school loan consolidation for students who have private loans is that they can remove the co-signer from their loans. This relieves the co-signer from any liability if you default on your loan payment. You have to make your regular payments for two to four years before you will be allowed to do this.

If you decide to consolidate your school loans there are several things you will need to take into consideration. Make it a point to find a lender who doesn’t charge an application fee or penalize you for paying your loan off early. Be sure you know what the maximum amount of interest is that you can be charged and how long the loan is for.

Whether or not a student should consolidate school loans depends on each individual case. If you cannot make monthly payments on various federal student loans, or if you have borrowed money with private loans, you can benefit from loan consolidation.

It’s probably the first time in my adult life I can actually say that. I was born in 1979, so I grew up with Reaganomics while watching Fraggle Rock. I was in High School during the first televised war in Iraq, and barely surviving the University of Maryland when Bill Clinton was explaining why Monica saved her dress without washing it. This was the same time the Mortgage Industry began their now notorious, greed filled run.

However, until last year, I had never experienced such a bad economy as an adult. To top it off, I opened a Mortgage Branch the year before specializing in A-paper loans, so I was smack dab in the middle of the windstorm. As the industry got what was coming to it, I learned incredibly valuable lessons I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

As the old saying goes, ‘what does not kill you only makes you stronger.’

Here is what the recent downturn in the economy has taught me….

Credit, Dead it!

That Credit, Dead it. Think a crackhead paying you back, shit, forget it Such were the words of the Late Notorious B.I.G. (remember, I grew up in the early 90s!). Substitute ‘a crackhead’ for ‘a struggling borrower’, and you have the real truth of today.

Credit was so available to everyone out there, that it became acceptable to live above your means. No longer did you need a used car when you can lease a brand new one. No longer did you need to have 20% to get a house, or even for that matter, did you need to show you could pay back the loan. Instead you could just ‘state’ your income. No need for proof. No need to earn the right to live the American dream. Instead you could live the dream now, and pay back what you owe when you make it. Wow, sounds great.

So I used credit to open up my mortgage branch. $28,000 to be exact. Being that it was a branch company, the credit I used was all personal. I took a calculated risk. I had the loans in the pipeline. I had a great marketing plan that worked like a charm. All I had to do was close these loans that all fit the current criteria. However, in a matter of days, the industry went into the toilet, and the criteria suddenly changed, even for A-paper loans.

Unable to close the majority of loans, I was left with over $25k in personal debt, and no where to write it off because it was personal. Instead of taking my time to build my company, I immediately tried to have it all. I went for the whole pie in one swoop because I had the credit. Why should I not use it? Well, now, unfortunately, I know the answer to that question.

Even though I had some pretty nice stuff that I owned, it still did not feel right. I had gotten most of it on credit. My house has a mortgage, even though I initially put down 20%. My car is a lease. However, none of these items give me the joy of being proud because I did not earn them the right way. All I earned, was the right to foot the bill.

The Inner Beauty of Living Below Your Means

I grew up in a pretty affluent area in New Jersey. Most kids in my high school got their cars from their parents, barely worked, and had credit cards that their parents also paid for them. I was not as spoiled, but my Dad was able to buy me a car when I turned 17 for $5,000. It was a 10 year old BMW, and I loved it. It still, to this day, was probably the best car I ever owned from an enjoyment perspective. However, in my school, this car was laughed at by some.

‘Dude, you call that a Beemer? It’s like 10 years old.’

Being in high school, I did not know any better. My world was the town I lived in. This was before AOL and the internet had really boomed as a networking tool. All I knew was the life before my eyes. I grew up believing that I should always have nice things. Even though I was not spoiled, I still had it pretty good compared to most, and I got used to it.

As I got older, my young life left me a taste for nice things. To live at the same level I did growing up, I had to start out making what people in my neighborhood made. This was not easy, being that most people in my neighborhood were earning in the top 3% of the country. However, I had the credit. Next thing I knew, I had the house of a successful person, and the bills to go with it. However, my income was not consistently on the same level. Working on commission, I was just able to keep up with my bills most months.

This was the major problem. Because I was just keeping up, as soon as things took a downturn, I was suddenly thrust into a hole. I had a ton of debt, and high monthly expenses to boot. I had to change industries completely, and start a company from scratch doing amazing web work. This was not easy for someone in my financial position. Living above my means could have set me back for years & years.

Luckily, I have great support from my incredible family. Without it, I don’t know where I would be. However, besides the support, they also have taught me something that I did not know. They taught me about the benefit of living below your means. Their generation grew up in that fashion. They understood how to live life before their was credit. I had to learn this the hard way.

As my Father enlightened me, the old school way of thinking was to buy a house with monthly expenses that equal about 1/4 of your income. I think that is great advice, even though it took this dire situation for it to sink in.

Just because you can live above your means, does not mean you should. There is a great beauty in a person that evolves from them persevering through hard times. I know, because I saw the change in myself when I was seriously ill with Crohn’s disease for a year. Persevering through difficult times makes you appreciate the good times.

Learn to love the Struggle

I’ve learned this in Jiu Jitsu: ‘There is no easy road to success.’

If you want to be successful at Jiu Jitsu, you better be persistent. Well, there is no easy road to financial stability either. It is a constant battle, especially in the ever-changing economic landscape that we live in today. It is only through the tough road of living below your means and working toward the things you desire that will satisfy you in life. Going out and purchasing a new toy on credit feels good for a day. Afterward, you are stuck with the bill, and left to juggle that with the rest of your expenses.

However, purchasing something that you earned through your own sweat is a feeling like no other. It makes you proud to own that toy. It makes you feel like a million dollars when you use it, because no one can ever take away the fact that you earned it. This is why we must learn to love the struggle it takes to get where we are going. The easy road is the fastest way, but it leaves you in place you don’t necessarily want to stay.

Prepare for the Worst.

Growing up during relatively good economic times, especially since high school, I never experienced living in hard times. I had heard my parents, grandparents, and their friends talk about the past generation’s experience, but I just assumed it was all part of the past. Today was different. We are not going to make those same crazy mistakes over and over.

Boy, was I wrong.

However, this experience left me with a great lesson. Even when things are going great, and you feel on top of the world, you must always be prepared for a change. If you take the time and patience to set yourself up properly, then when things to take a turn for the worse, you will be prepared to handle it. If you live above your means, then when the slightest change occurs, you will not be prepared to adapt. Financial flexibility is more important then keeping up with the Jones’.

What has this recent down turn in the economy taught you?

As with every mistake I make, it is important to understand the lesson that was learned. These 3 lessons are something I will carry with me for the rest of my life. They will shape the person I become because this is what my business experience has been at a young age. I hope everyone else from my generation has learned a lesson of their own as well.

What is your take on the economic times? Have you been able to adapt, or were you caught off guard like me? How has this change effected the way you will handle your future financial situations?

Step 1 Learn About the Psychology to Trading

The key to trading successfully in the forex market a lot depends on how you handle after a loss. It is how you dealt with the loss of money that differentiates between a novice trader and a professional trader.

Trading is managing the two components of our human emotions – the fear and greed. Understanding these two human emotions is very important because the market is human driven. This will mean to a certain extent, based on greed and fear, a person will be able to predict with some accuracy on how the market performs.

Step 2 Trade with a Plan

It is important that one person understands how many types of market condition are there. There are three market conditions, trending, ranging and consolidation. Having understands the different market conditions, it should be decided by the traders what strategies will perform the best in the current conditions.

As market conditions are constantly changing, a trader must possess a sound idea of the various investment strategies and adapting to the fast changing financial markets.

It is a common saying- if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Even though you have a plan, it does not mean you will win all the time but if you fail to plan, it is guaranteed that you will lose in the long term. Trading is after all a probability games. Having a plan before you start trading increase your probability to win.

A trading plan consists of five components. These five components will be discussed in my other articles. Trading plan seeks to conquer and eliminate trading with human emotions. It encourages trading in a logical and systematic way without the two human emotions.

Step 3 Minimise Risk With Proper Money Management

Even with a plan, a trader will still fail if he does not follow a strict money management. A sound money management will restrict the money loss up to certain predefined level so that any loss incurred will not ever bring the trader out of business.

Trading the market is about surviving the market today so that you can come back to trade tomorrow, isn’t it? As long as you have the money, the market will present plenty of opportunities for you. However, if you lose all your money in any single trade, you cannot capitalise on future opportunities anymore.

A general guide will be to risk not more than 2% of your equity in any single trade. And 6% of account equity is the maximum amount of risk you undertake in any single month. Abiding by these two rules will ensure you stay in the market for as long as you can regardless of how much you have in your account.

Step 4 Repeat step 1 to 4 with discipline and never give up.

Trade consistently and have a good record keeping for trading assessment later. Never attempt to change the plan while you are trading. Stick to the plan and trade with a demo account until you are very confident with the trading strategy.

Step 5 Trading Assessment and Optimisation

Review and make improvements to your trading plan after trading for 3 months or 200 executed trades whichever comes first. This is to ensure that the result of trading is reliable based from results obtained from large no of trades.

One of the mistakes that many traders makes is that they make changes to a trading plan over a short period of time without giving the plan enough time to show its facts. This is because every systems will have its losing cycle and profiting cycle.

The first thing you must do is make sure that the rigorous secondary school program is designated by school education agencies. The state authorized local education agencies are recognized by each state’s Secretary of Education. If they do not meet the criteria of the state secretary of education, they’re not allowed in the program.

Advanced and honors secondary school programs must be approved and established by the state itself. For instance, if you move to a different state, you may be under the regulations of that state program. You may not even qualify for these grants because their requirements differ in regard to your academic performance and GPA.

The third thing to consider is that state secondary school programs are identified by state scholars initiative of the western interstate commission for higher education. Although this facility is located in Boulder Colorado, it acts as a surveyor of all of the state programs to make sure that they are in compliance with each state department of education.

Fourth, a program that requires an applicant to take two courses in international baccalaureate diploma program typically requires the student to score a four or higher on the examinations or college board exams for these courses. This is extra work that she will have to do in order to make the cut for your $2000 scholarship.

Finally, the secondary school program that the student must complete requires four years of English, three years of math, three years of science, three years of social studies, and one foreign language. If you do not have these minimum requirements, you also cannot apply for these grant programs.

Qualifying for the educational financial aid necessary to go to school can be a difficult process. If you qualify based upon all of the criteria above, you should have no problem getting a grant from your state, especially for the ACG. There are other grant programs that require less of each student and may also provide more monetary supplementation over the course of your college education.

It is my opinion that getting a student loan is not your first choice, but if you need it to go to college, supplemented with grant programs, you should have no problems paying for school after you have earned your college degree. Plus, it may be a lot less stressful.

I had a very interesting conversation with my godson. He will be graduating from high school soon. He assured me that he was ready to take on the responsibility of purchasing a car. He felt this way because he has been working par-time at a fast food restaurant. When I asked him how much money he had saved his answer was simply, none.

We talked about the importance of saving money and some responsible things he could do with is earning. I went on to explain to him that having a job was a good step towards saving to buy a car outright. However, he was still lacking in responsibility for assuming that everyone else would gift him enough money to buy a car.

When it comes to loans that a person should contribute some of their own money. Giving someone the total amount they need removes them from having a true interest and feeling of ownership. Many homeowners walked away from their homes or that very reason. They had no money to lose, so they walked away from the home.

So our conversation ended with an agreement that he would cover insurance and gas with his income and save at least 10% for college expenses and I would send him cash towards the purchase of his vehicle as a graduation gift.

I guess buying a car is much more common then when I graduated from high school. However, I would rather teach graduates the importance of being responsible with their money then popular with their peers. What are we teaching them by buying the mandatory iphones, laptops, games systems, digital cameras, DVD players, and ipods? I think the message is pretty clear, “consume more, save less and use debt to consume everything you want. This has got to stop!

Pretty soon my godson will be off to college where he will be bombarded with credit card applications, cell phone companies and many other vendors enticing him to get into debt. Hopefully he will learn how to be responsible with money before he earns his college degree because my other gift was a few sessions of our Kids And Money Program known as K.A.M.P.
