68. So Happy for You!

The way they were doing the PSLF payments, very few were ever getting a loan forgiven - and the loan amounts just kept increasing. Biden's administration changed all that. Three months after they had calculated that I still had 3 years of payments left, they suddenly informed me that under the new rules I had actually completed the required number of payments back in 2019! Biden is my hero

For those who work in public service and have not heard of the PSLF program, you can get info at
