Anyone with high loans amount or anyone you know doing the loan forgiveness over 25 years or paying them off right away?
I'm talking 200-250k+ loans when combined with undergrad.
Financial aid website says it ends up coming out to the same amounts of money paid off other than the tax bomb at the end if you choose the forgiveness route.
Depending on situation, I think the forgiveness route might be the better option since it cuts the monthly payment down by over half over 25 years instead of big payments for 10 years during your prime. Although you'll have to sit there and be patient as they built up for 25 years before they're forgiven.
Thoughts?
