What happens financially after student loan forgiveness—and how should you think about your net worth? In this Milestones to Millionaire episode, we talk with a physician who reached a major turning point after receiving Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF).

This episode highlights how mindset, balance sheets, and financial awareness can dramatically change how you view your progress. We also cover practical advice for other doctors, residents, and high-income professionals navigating student loans, net worth, and early wealth building.
