She dutifully saved up a PSLF side fun incase something happened and her loans were not forgiven. Luckily that did not happen and she now has a big chunk of money in there. As a highly debt averse person she is now considering turning that fund into a 'saving-for-a-home fund' in hopes to be able to pay cash for their first home.
