This is my story on being a half a million dollars in student loan debt.  This financial weight is not only troublesome to our bank account but also an emotional and sometimes humorous tale.  How did I get here?  That deserves a blog post on its own.  To be fair, I am a practicing physician and am considered a high income earner.  But this is still an enormous amount of debt.  I believe that there are many others in this crisis situation.  I’m going to share my debt story starting with transparency.  I hope that I will be able to help some, or give hope to others.  This all starts with my own total transparency.  I am posting below snapshots of my account balances.

Grand total: $507,226.27 !!
