Americans have grown accustomed to car loans. It just seems normal to buy cars that are brand new and finance them for $300, $400, or even $500 a month.

Teacher loan forgiveness is a program that has been implemented by the Federal Government that forgives either $5,000 or $17,500, depending on the subject that you teach. Since I taught math, my forgiveness was $17,500. This is only one of the requirements of this program and I will detail how you can utilize this program as a way to get some of your student loans forgiven.
