[] texaslawhopefully

11:58

Wait windy you get a stipend just for living in Alaska

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

11:58

have you ever seen a wendigo

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

how do you deal with the wendigo infestation

@texaslawhopefully: yep! it’s called the permanent fund dividend

[] texaslawhopefully

12:00

Oh wow that’s very interesting. I’m guessing it’s fundable because so few people live there

windyMagician

12:01

no, it’s a sovereign wealth fund from the incredible amount of oil royalties Alaska has collected over the years

[] texaslawhopefully

12:02

Right, that makes sense, but I assume if more people lived there it wouldn’t be sustainable for dividend payments to go out?

windyMagician

12:02

Alaska’s population used to be bigger and the dividend payment was also bigger. it all depends on the returns of the fund in a given year. It’s enshrined in the state constitution so it would be incredibly difficult to get rid of it even if it was $1

windyMagician

12:03

also, postsecondary education is a qualifying absence so i can still get my dividend even while in law school

[] texaslawhopefully

12:04

Ahh I see. And so it applies to any resident even ones who are out of state at the moment?

windyMagician

12:05

you must maintain ties to the state, come back for at least 72 hours a year, have intent to return to Alaska, and not establish residency in any other state

windyMagician

12:05

and be on a qualifying absence. military and education is okay, being out of the state working is not

babycat

12:05

so if you went to a state school you wouldn’t establish residency there to be in state?

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: if FO taught me anything you mag dump

babycat

12:06

I was wondering about that too bc I would prefer to maintain my current residency

windyMagician

12:08

@babycat: correct. accepting in state tuition in another state is actually a really common and controversial reason that ppl get denied dividends

BulbasaurNoLikeCardio

12:08

Being military I moved ALOT and would establish residency in the states that had no income tax or other tax benefits. I would imagine switching to instate tuition would save significant money

i maintained my FL residency but the only advantage is that i get reduced price theme park tickets

[] texaslawhopefully

12:08

I think it depends. For a lot of the top schools, the diff between in state and out of state tuition is just a few grand

babycat

12:11

I have a non-financial interest in maintaining residency but might consider it if it’s a significant amount of money

LyricalLikeDragon

12:12

For a lot of schools I've seen it can be like 10k/year

LyricalLikeDragon

12:12

For me that's p significant

in the event drumpf does indeed 'drill baby drill' I would wager Windy will get a better dividend years following this one

$30k in debt with interest is a fat chunk of change
