“Not making payments towards PSLF in a qualifying job.”
What Actually Happened
I worked a job that would have qualified me for PSLF, but I tragically wasn't making payments due to my lack of education on the program. I missed out on significant progress towards forgiveness.
What I wish I knew
"I wish I had understood how PSLF worked so I could have been making qualifying payments."
Advice to Someone Facing This Now
If I could tell you one thing
"Thoroughly research loan forgiveness programs like PSLF as soon as you start a qualifying job."
