Hello, as a doctor who graduated 6 years ago, I can tell you that all the sacrifice is worth it, if it is possible to pay the loans, do not be discouraged, keep doing your part and achieve a good specialization.

Budget. Budget budget budget. Budget. It's possible, honest, but you have to take it seriously if you don't want the interest getting ahead of you.
