<prompt> Human: Im obviously very fortunate to have received this type of gift which was a portion of what they received from selling the family business.I have 210k in debt so far in medical school, which will come out to be 280k by the time I graduate next year. During residency I will be making anywhere from 50-60k a year, and interest accumulates at I think 7.2. Is it better to throw all of this money at my current debt, or invest it? Rather than me cashing the check, they could just pay directly against my loans.Thanks  <response>: Have you started traveling yet for residency interviews? Im an M2 now, and Im not the one to be doling out financial advice, though it seems like paying against your debt might be the best option because you wont easily make a higher interest ROI than 7.2. However, Ive heard traveling for residency interviews is a many thousands of dollars affair. I would stash some away to help you finance this so you dont have to borrow addition, private loan money.
