Currently hold no assets.4) Holding 300K in professional school student loan debt at 6.8%, plan to refinance perhaps at 5%I'm trying to figure out my strategy for avoiding taxes on my high salary/income that will start soon, and hoping to invest aggressively in the next few years in order to set myself up for passive income in the future.
