Congrats Craig and Bethany!

Shoutout to student loan slayer Craig Chu, a pediatric hospitalist & critical care physician who paid off $200K in 20 months. How did he do it on a single income with 2 kids? "I came out of training in 2016 with $225K in student loans, bought my wife a $50K SUV, & got whole life policies for my wife, my 3y/o daughter & myself. I spent two years making many of the typical financial mistakes young physicians make. I began my FI journey by finding WCI in 2018. I refinanced what was left of my loan ($200K), & started paying it down as quickly as possible. I was able to pick up extra work to increase my income. We took principles from Marie Kondo’s book to minimize unnecessary spending. I read at least 20 books on personal finance to better understand terminology, investment strategies, & psychology of money. I hired a financial advisor, discussed with him my goals, & we came up with a plan on how to pay off all of my debts ASAP. I gamified my loan repayment & calculated the daily interest I was paying to watch it go down. It felt like a small victory seeing that I was only paying $8 in interest/day when the last month I was paying $9.50/day."
