Consequences
A key piece to remember is that the student loan forgiveness programs do require you to pay a HUGE chunk of TAXES after the 15-20 year term. Only one program can end in no tax.
So big in fact, that each month you need to save for it
otherwise you will be shocked that final year.
Travis gives us a few examples about what to expect and how
to plan for the end of term taxes on the amount forgiven of your student loans.
Including a 20 year trick to make money
work for you long term.
AGI adjusted gross income- is how they base your 10% student
loan payment each month. A Perk for

counts toward the API.
