Welcome to another Dr. PayItBack monthly checkup! I use this space to remain accountable to our expenses and goals, track net worth and debt, and muse on what was done well and what can be improved.
It’s gone, it’s done. 3 years and 4 months after finishing training, I’ve paid off my medical school student loans. I’m taking a well-deserved rest today, so this month’s charts are presented without further comment.

Nice reference to LOTR! (I think–otherwise, I have revealed my secret geekish tendencies). The low interest rate was tempting, but I think you will find you are happier with your student loans gone.
Congratulations, and happy new year!
Thank you for posting!
I love your budget/cash flow charts and graphs. What program/programs do you use?
Thank you

Thank you! Most of the charts made myself in apple numbers. The bottom chart is from the Max Fientist website. And I occasionally post graphs from personal capital.
Congrats dude well done!
