Dentistry is a great profession but it comes with its risks. I made $296k as a general dentist my 3rd year out of school. I bought a Lexus F Sport and a big house along with it. Then I had an unfortunate injury and my income dropped to $189k because I couldn’t work as much. I know that still sounds like a lot but not when your fixed expenses are so high. I got on Dave’s plan and now I’m debt free (except for the mortgage). It can be done but the key is discipline and not caring what your other colleagues think of you. Good luck!

Dave is absolutely correct. Medical students don't start making any real money until we are about thirty. Once that money starts coming in you feel like you deserve the finer things. It is hard to continue to delay gratification when now you are capable of buying that nice house or car. I wish I had been more disciplined because these loans have hung around a lot longer than they should have. I just gave advice to some of the residents that I know. I told them to keep living like a resident until that debt is paid off or they are going to regret it. I could tell that my advice went in one ear and out the other. They are already dreaming about the Lexus and fancy house.

Pay off the car loan (paying off a lease early is dumb). That leaves $70k left, reduce the student loans to $239k, he said he already had $6-7k he could save/ pay off debt with. So add the car payment plus $3,500 (which he said was part of his fix costs plus the $7k a month and he’s paying $11.3k a month towards debt, assuming he doesn’t do a refi and get a lower interest rate he could pay it off in less than 2 years at that rate.

“I recently graduated from dental school...” Uncle Dave already starts shaking his head before he even hears the number because he knows what’s coming.

My wife is in pediatric dental residency now. I kept telling her classmates do not spend until you actually start earning money and get your debt paid off. Nobody listens. There is this sense of "I have earned this and I will make so much it doesn't matter"....until they realize it does matter. Dental school isn't cheap. We are living way below our means for saving and paying off the debt because once the debt is paid, then we hope to buy in at a practice. There will always be a need for future capital. My goal was was for her to leave dental school below $200k and residency below $150k. We will probably be far ahead of that goal if things go to plan.

"Broke dentist" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂I love you uncle Dave lol

This guy is making over $200 000 and he's having financial troubles. Dude just spend $100 000 each year on the debt and it's paid off in 3 years. If you can't live off of $100 000 you got a problem.

He needs to read The Millionaire Next Door. The comparison of doctors in that book might really help him.

I’m about to start Med school this fall, and this is maybe my worst fear. You have so much debt and you buy a Lexus. Wow, I won’t be doing that and hope I can do it smarter.

7k expenses is insane. Sounds like he buys all this luxury things to show off to his friends to act like he’s successful

"I graduated recently from dental school" Dave: "shakes head 😞"

Smart guy. I can understand why he did what he did. Going through that much school has to be extremely tedious.

The inhale, exhale explanation was amazingly accurate for pretty much all those who study hard in school for 3-5 years longer than everybody else. I was almost a victim of that trap to, but i managed to get out. Now i'm keeping that lifestyle and trying to save up a bunch instead aswell.

DO NOT and I repeat, DO NOT say dental school is medical school. It is not

I gotta give this young doctor kudos for calling, he obviously wants to be debt free. When my husband was in medical school he did not have a NEW Lexus ES. He drove his Schwin Bicycle 3 miles in the am and 3 miles in the pm. and like a mailman, even in the rain. Presently hubby drives his 21 y o Mitsubishi 3000.

309k in debt. Buys Lexus vehicle Caller: WHy aM I in dEbt?

You’re so incredible Dave, thank you for your guidance!

Lol. Nothing but facts. Thanks Dave, for teaching me (as a doctor) to get out of debt early, and not follow all my colleagues.

My household income is about the same but my wife drives a 12 year old Saab and I drive a 23 year old Jeep. When people have high income and still are tremendously in debt, it scares me.

A dentist cannot make $260K/year. Typically $150K/year. To make $260K/year, you need to be a specialist MD. There is oversupply of dentists in United States.

Med school?!? The caller said dental school. Huge difference! Lol.

Yeah but dental school is just as hard if not harder because you have the stress of preclinical work while having med school classes. Most dental schools have integrated med school curriculums and on top of that you’re expected to be a competent dentist at the end of the four years so they work you much harder. My cousins a medical surgeon and he told me this when I applied to dental school, now in dental school Ik what he was talking about. Also it’s not much easier but MD is def harder, DO is easier. The DO average GPA 3.5, MD average gpa 3.7, and DMD OR DDS average gpa is slightly below a 3.6.

$300,000.00 in student debt they could have atleast taught him some common sense

My way of handling wanting to buy nice things but knowing I didn't have the money was this. Every few months I would go get a cart go through all the motions of shopping. And then, I would put it all back or buy one under $8 item that had real usefulness like socks. It got the want out without losing money that I didn't have to spend.

My husband is in his 2nd year of residency and I totally understand the “Docitis” comment. It’s sooooo hard to see everyone I have ever known get to start their life...buy houses/new cars/ go on yearly European vacations. Once my husband finishes residency I can totally see us making up for lost time, but I need to remember to pay off debt first (sorry I’m writing this comment...I just feel like writing this down will make me more likely to do the right thing debt wise).

It doesn't matter how much (or little) someone earns: if they're bad with money, they're bad with money. This man just sounds like someone who is living well beyond their (admittedly high) means and seems to refuse to be financially responsible. Unlike most people in his situation, if he would just leave reasonably for a few years he could actually afford the life style he enjoys now with little to no debt.

Panth Mantheon No one gets to spend their pre-tax income. There is no way a young dentist keeps $260K after taxes. At this level of income self employed dentists pay over 39% to the fed and 17.5% FICA, etc, etc.. All taxes combined are typically >50%. It is this 50% that everyone supposes he will use to pay down the debt. Paying down a $300K debt with a disposable income of $130K takes far longer than paying it off with a disposable income of $260K. Especially when family healthcare costs run >2K a month. It makes retirement a very difficult proposition unless someone is exceptionally frugal. The schools are really screwing these kids. Dental school is more expensive than med school. Most would be far better working for the government. Unfortunately the schools have more applications than spots so there's no downward pressure on the school prices.

My daughter graduated from university of Pitt in 3 years. She is now in a Ivy League medical school and got all her undergrad loans consolidated and is making those payments while enrolled in PennVet future Veterinarian. Her stress was bad but she is doing right to get it knocked out fast and live a great life debt free. She has a cheap car no car payment. And a great future ahead

Lexus GX. I needed a car! LMAF.

Did I miss something, or did Dave never ask how big the mortgage is, or how much the house is worth? That seems a pretty obvious piece of the puzzle in figuring out whether the caller is in financial trouble or not.

I don’t understand why people can’t go to their state public school. Stony Brook University dental/medical school for New York State residents is a fraction of the price.

I just love how people call in with debt "problems" yet they make 260k a year. Stop calling Dave about your "problems". He can be completely debt free in 2 years (2.5 tops) and he knows it.

Wow I didn’t know dentists get paid that well 😲😲 guess I should have gone to a dental school... ☹️☹️

Great question! Wish everyone would get off his back, he realises he made a few mistakes (not even that bad) and is now looking for advice! People in the comments acting like they never ever made a mistake, especially when we were younger! 🤨

He graduated dental school, now medical school. Fix the title please
