Smarts vs Farts: Personal Finance Edition

IN the battle of good and evil, good will always prevail because evil is dumb.
When it comes to the super serial topic of personal finance, let us see if the smarts will bore us to tears or the farts will get us laughing and confused about what we're even doing here

Public Servant Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) lets you get your federal student loans forgiven in 10 years without having to owe tax on the amount forgiven. To qualify your students loans need to be from the US government, and you need to work for a qualifying entity, like a non-profit organization or for the government, like as a teacher at a public school, or for a government agency.

It's kind of crazy I'm getting close to paying off one of my smaller private loans and it was issued 19 years ago. The PSLF is probably the best idea for timely forgiveness... until the word comes from down on high that all stu loans will be wiped off the map.
I just can't wait until I have my personal loans paid off in the next few months and then I can start chipping away at that ever growing impossibly big other pile. I think I'm on a 20 or 25 year repayment plan but the years they were paused because of the ICK don't count towards the final term. I was kind of annoyed that I lost a couple years there.
Futhermore I got an email talking about general stu lone forgiveness that automatically opted you in. If you wanted to opt out there was some ridiculous penalty for choosing to keep repaying rather than taking the free (erasure of) money
