Am I way off base in my understanding of Mr. Ramsey's teachings? If so, how?

That would be inconsistent with my recollection concerning his position on the subject with other people in similar situations.

Your situation is ... unusual. I think you should call his show.

Here's a link I found:

Stafford Loan Forgiveness < Repayment | StaffordLoan.com

Especially near the bottom of the page, with the heading "Circumstances and Conditions for Loan Forgiveness." It does say that if you die while still indebted, it can be forgiven, either partially or totally.

Yeah, I'm weird. Faces come out of the rain and the whole nine ... LOL

If I get out of work Friday while he's on, I'll pull over and try.

Thanks for reminding me about the volunteering - need to get back to the Habitat build. Maybe it'll cover a quarter of my interest accrual by the time I hit 1,700 hours.
