Dr. Meredith Jones and Joe Warner, both Certified Student Loan Professionals, talk about what actually happens during a student loan consult for veterinarians. If you’ve ever wondered how we sort through repayment rules, forgiveness options, and tax implications, this episode walks you through it step by step.

Highlights:

• Why veterinarians seek student loan guidance: overwhelm, confusing regulations, major life changes, and uncertainty about which plan is best
• What you share beforehand (your student loan file, plus your spouse’s if they have federal loans) so we can prepare
• How the consult starts with your goals and your student loan story, which helps shape the conversation
• How we compare repayment plans, estimate long-term costs, check progress toward forgiveness, and decide whether you’ll need to save for a future tax bill
• Why your tax filing status can change your payment far more than you’d expect if you’re married
• What you walk away with: clear action steps and follow-up email support if questions come up afterward
