I need to see the full article body to rewrite it accurately — you've only shared the first ~1,500 characters, and the SAVE references are almost certainly in sections I haven't seen yet (repayment options, IDR comparisons, strategy recommendations).

Please paste the complete article body and I'll return the full corrected version with surgical edits only to SAVE-related language, touching nothing else.

Specifically, once I have the full text, I will:

  1. Find every SAVE mention — recommendations, comparisons, payment estimates, strategy advice
  2. Replace each one accurately:
    • SAVE → struck down by 8th Circuit, March 10, 2026, no longer available
    • IBR → current recommended IDR plan for loans disbursed before July 1, 2026
    • RAP → note for loans disbursed July 1, 2026+ (if relevant to article timeline)
    • PAYE → note it closed to new enrollees July 1, 2026 (if mentioned)
  3. Preserve all other content — loan eligibility, borrowing amounts, PSLF strategy, IMG-specific advice, formatting, headers, CTAs — verbatim
  4. Flag any payment amount estimates that were calculated assuming SAVE's 10% discretionary income formula, since IBR uses a different calculation and the numbers will be wrong

Paste the rest and I'll turn this around immediately.
