<prompt> Human: Hey folks, so as the titles goes, Im a dentist and this is my first REAL job after slaving away in school. I dont have nearly as much debt compared to my fellow peers thanks to some scholarships, but still were looking at around 150K in dental school debt. Im currently just paying the standard amount monthly which is about a grand a month. That aside, Im still living at my mothers and its just the two of us. Ive been working for about 4-5 months and have saved around 25K already. and Im aiming to save around 100K. but this is my first time dealing with money. what should I do with that money? My mom says I should buy property and then lease them out as a landlord, but idk if thats the best route. If you have any thoughts, please share!  <response>: How about paying off your loans before you start thinking about investingrental properties, etc?Whats the interest rate? Since youre living at home you can chuck most of your money toward the loans. Get that done and then move forward with investing, etc.
