STUDENT LOANS:

According to the ADA, the average debt of the 1996 dental school graduate who had debt was $84,247, which equates to over $1200 monthly loan payments on a 12% ten year loan.  At the end of this ten year period, you would have paid over $144,000 to Uncle Sam for that $84,247 loan.  Do not be fooled by the low interest rate loans provided by the government.  If you are not careful, Uncle Sam will be running off with thousands of dollars in interest that has compounded during your repayment period.  

The interactive loan calculator is provided for the specific purpose of helping you avoid the situation described above.  Experiment with different monthly payments and total repayment periods to determine the quickest and most efficient way to rid yourself of debt.
