Discussing the "reality" with fellow classmates
Rising P3 here on a LOA. I just got off the phone with my good friend who's still in pharmacy school. I was talking about how I saw a post on reddit (and frankly seeing everywhere now after some research) about how if you do the math, as a new grad getting 80k a year, 60k after taxes, so 5k a month - 2k a month for student loans at 200k (the average for my college), so you take home 3k, at 36k-50k a year for about 10 years. And the redditor also added up the mortgage/rent, car payments... Discussing the "reality" with fellow classmates (Source: Student Doctor Network)

California doesn ’t have enough doctors. To recruit them, the state is paying off medical school debt
California doesn't have enough doctors. To recruit them, the state is paying off medical school debt California will spend $340 million paying off doctors’ debts.

Marriage
Pharmacists make six figures. I make around 190,000 after 401k. I am getting taxed so heavily (California) and with student loans to boot. Does marriage (to someone of lesser income) make a big difference for you all? The 2018 bracket listed up to 315,000 thousand dollars to reside in the 24% bracket. Whereas I am at 32% with my sub 200,000 gross income. I have been together with my SO for over 3 years. Is it a good decision? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

How to handle family loans for tuition?
Hey everyone! I have been accepted to CDMI class of 2023.

Not withholding tax?
Might be a dumb question, but any of you do this? I figure not having your hospital withhold your tax gives a significant temporary boost to investable income. Even if you put it in a high saving account and get 2% interest.. can still get like 1000$ extra a year? Then just pay the taxes due during tax season. Am i missing something?

Which state to claim residency in?
I lived in California my whole life, but moved away for college. My whole family is still there and like most other students from California, I obviously want to go back. However, after college, I moved to Virginia for work during my gap year. I still have my CA license and am registered to vote there, but I pay rent and taxes in VA... I think the smart thing for me to do is do apply as a VA resident to MD schools because my stats are not amazing enough to give me a good shot at CA schools,... Which state to claim residency in?
