Website<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

\n \u201cThank you for taking the time to build such a wonderful website and imparting your knowledge for free. Your blog is one of the most informative and motivational websites on the web. Your articles on starting a business have been quite influential, and as a result I've gained the confidence to start my own private practice.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\n \u201cI stumbled across your blog while researching whole life policies. My previous life\/disability insurance rep (who I've come to learn is a \u2018captive' rep through my studies of your website), was hammering me on whole life and trying to get me to convert some of my term policy to whole life. He was VERY good at it. Anyway, I was so very close to not only doing this, but also purchasing an additional policy on my newborn child!! Your website was instrumental in helping me avoid this huge mistake. I used it to locate an independent rep through term4sale.com. My new agent not only got me a better, cheaper, longer term policy at a better health rating, but also replaced my disability policy with one that is $1,000 a year cheaper for double the income protection. (And yes, I did my due diligence on the disability contract!)<\/p>\n

In addition to all of this, I have learned a tremendous amount on retirement planning and exactly what I need to be doing now while I am relatively young to achieve financial independence. Since finding your blog I've begun maxing out my wives' and my Roth IRAs, maxing out my 401(k), begin maxing out my 457 starting next month, and opened a 529 for my daughter. My wife and I have also begun drafting our wills. I've purchased your book and read your blog regularly. Wish I could do more! Keep doing what you are doing, it means a lot!\u201d\n <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\n \u201cI am an intern going into dermatology and I started reading your site [recently]. I had posted several questions about student loan management and disability insurance which you promptly answered. I just wanted to let you know how much your blog has impacted me.<\/p>\n

I am married with two kids and have $200K in medical student debt, my husband stays at home with our kids right now and for the foreseeable future. I was so stressed out about cash flow at the beginning of my intern year I put my loans into deferment, was not budgeting well, and ending up paying for groceries on credit. After reading your website, my husband and I bought and read your book and got on the same page about short-term and long-term goals and a monthly budget. I applied for REPAYE which I was accepted for, and am now paying $84.00\/mo, will likely refinance at the end of residency and pay them off within a couple years after graduation. I got both life and disability insurance through [one of your advertisers], and he's been good to work with. I paid down $4K of credit card debt, and put the remaining $8K on a 0% interest credit card for two years with the goal of paying it down in that time frame (before that I had that entire sum on a card with 14% interest accruing!). And we are saving to savings account and a Roth IRA monthly (a small sum, but it's still something!).<\/p>\n

Anyways, I guess I just feel like I owe you a huge thank you for what you are doing. I\u2026feel like I'm developing some measure of financial literacy for the first time in my life.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\n \u201cNow, 7 months out of residency, I have my student loans completely paid off, and over $30,000 in various retirement accounts using low cost vanguard funds. My wife used to laugh when I would talk about your website with her or my colleagues. Then I showed her the plan to become a millionaire before age 40. It's a little less funny to her now, and a lot more awesome. In addition, your website has been a big encouragement for our family to tithe\/donate more of our income to church and charity. I appreciate this aspect of your site as well.\u201d\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n
