She does, although I don't believe her plan administrator offers loans in order to keep costs down- i'm not 100% on that though. Additionally, since I want to go into family practice, there is a high probability of at least partial loan forgiveness later on.
My only concern about using a pre-tax retirement vehicle later on is future tax rates... i'm not too optimistic about them, especially with this populist 'soak the rich' nonsense.
