[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][twitter]i[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I are both non-profit attorneys.  HHI is $460k.

We had the balance of our loans forgiven last year under the public interest program (PSLF).  
He had $40k forgiven, I had $45k forgiven.  It has been amazing to get that weight lifted.

I am a huge fan of forgiveness in exchange foe 10 years of non-profit or government work.   My DH and I are both life-long public interest lawyers - 15+ years in non-profit or government.  We started off earning $50k each in the DOJ Honors program, when we could have gone the Biglaw route (then starting at $125k).

Well deserved! Congrats. There’s a Reddit forum devoted to PSLF. It’s like a sounding of the bell forum when someone shares the day they completed their 10 year service and loan was forgiven. It’s so positive and wholesome. For others, it’s a countdown until their turn. All are kind and genuinely happy to celebrate everyone’s accomplishments. [/quote]

+1 I also recently got $40k in loans forgiven through PSLF just before the pause ended. Our HHI is $250k. No way I would turn down loan forgiveness. Anyone saying it's wrong for someone to get it had better be turning down tax deductions and credits. GTFOOH.[/quote]

I am jealous!  I had to pay back every red cent of my loans even though I worked in public health since I got out of dental school in 2000 (with the exception of the first 3 years).  Why?  I wasn’t on an “approved” payment plan. Bastards.

Still happy for you, though!

Thank you! I am jealous of the people who starting work at my office before me who have more generous retirement benefits and those who had babies after me who got paid parental leave. But am also happy for them.[/quote]
