Let's talk about the tough question... As physicians, we are frequently burdened with massive amounts of debt in the form of school loans and other forms of debt. To many of us, that burden plays a significant role in the decisions we make. This week, the Lunch and Learn podcast brings you an amazing guest, Dr. Nii Darko who is a Board-certified Trauma Surgeon who is pushing the limits beyond medicine. Dr. Nii is the host of the Docs Outside the Box podcast where he features ordinary doctors living extraordinary lives with a focus on money, mindset, and mission. Dr. Nii is the bestselling author of 3,2,1…Podcast – The Beginner's Guide to Building Brand Authority Through Podcasting, and he helped other doctors find their own voices through his popular podcasting course, 10 Days to Podcasting. Dr. Nii has spent several years performing medical humanitarian work in Ghana with International Healthcare Volunteers (IHCV). He serves as a mentor for the Tour for Diversity in Medicine (T4D), an organization devoted to educating, empowering, and inspiring up-and-coming minority physicians. His newest venture is Equal Access Health, a locum tenens company that helps doctors achieve the lifestyle they deserve and have always wanted. In this new podcast episode, Dr. Nii will discuss the business side of things, including his company ventures and the mindset adjustment that was required to achieve the financial independence he desired. He'll also talk about why medicine wasn't enough for him, how money is a tool, and how debt became his marriage's biggest problem.

In this episode, Drs. Nii and Renée Darko (@drniidarko and drreneedarko) are both physicians and realized they were drowning in over half a million dollars of student loan debt and living paycheck to paycheck without much in savings and zero investments.

Nii and Renée Darko realized they were drowning in over half a million dollars of student loan debt and living paycheck to paycheck without much in savings and zero investments, they made a pact to pay off their student loan debt in 15 years. In three short years, not only were they free of student loan debt, but during their debt payoff, they cash flowed several rounds of infertility treatments and quit their W2 jobs to become entrepreneurs, starting 3 businesses.

**Originally aired on Jan. 31, 2018** What would you do if you woke up with $662,000 of student loan debt? Yes, you heard that right, $662,000 in just student loan debt. Well, that’s what happened to Drs. Renée and Nii Darko. After meeting in medical school and completing rigorous surgical residencies, Renée and Nii woke up to see their total debt balance had ballooned to the high six figures after years of deferment and forbearance. Stressed, confused, and not making any progress on actually paying down their principal, the Darko family decided to get serious. They cut out their pricey insurance policies, took on a significant amount of extra shifts at hospitals all over the country, and reprioritized everything. And by prioritize, I mean they only paid $200/month in groceries for 2.5 years! The result of all this hard work and adhering to that strict budget was that they paid off all their debt in only 3 years! Today, I’m talking to the couple about how they did it and the challenges they encountered along the way (like the three failed IVF rounds that they paid for in cash). You’ll also hear about how paying off their debt has given these two physicians financial independence, enabling them to pursue their passions and business pursuits, like Dr. Nii’s website and a podcast called Docs Outside the Box. To visit the couple’s blog, head to www.keepingupwiththedarkos.wordpress.com.

My guests on this podcast are Drs Nii and Renee Darko who paid back significant educational loans nearing nearly $670k over a 3 year period in order to take back control of their financial futures.  Nii is a trauma surgeon and Rene is a Ob/Gyn and they worked very hard to pay down this debt. We talk about how they acquired so much debt. What was the moment they realized that this debt was out of control and how they changed their life to pay down this debt. They also talk about their backgrounds in relation to finance and how that impacted their lives. We also talk about the decision to pay down debt vs investing (which is a common question and its a different answer for everyone) and now what their plans are after finishing the debt paydown. They also have other ventures which they are now able to spend more time on. Nii hosts the popular Docs Outside the Box podcast, and Rene runs a premed advisory service called Premed Strategies and Coaching where she helps advise aspiring medical students. They also run a locums agency called Equal Access Health and a blog called Keeping up with the Darkos. I hope the Darkos have inspired to you take a look at your finances and also pursue alternative ventures that maybe outside of medicine.
