how smart or dumb do yall think this idea is: buying out a brand new m3 and depleting most of my savings so schools give me more loans...

[] TheAdoptedOne

11:15

genius

snow

11:16

hahah

snow

11:16

that sounds cool

[] TheAdoptedOne

11:16

if a brand new m3 only takes out "most" of ur savings then we are in different tax brackets brotha

shaquilleoatmeal

11:17

been working for a hot minute lol my thought is id rather have loans than use my actual funds lol id rather use those funds for food and shit

shaquilleoatmeal

11:17

my friends think its a dumb idea but idk i honestly think its smart lol

texaslawhopefully

11:18

I don't know. I personally wouldn't do it because it's another few thousand in loans you will have to take it out. I would only do it if your current laptop will be too old/slow for law school.

[] TheAdoptedOne

11:18

would maybe invest in an asset that doesnt deplete in value at the speed of light but makes sense to not just have cash sittinng around

[] TheAdoptedOne

11:18

75-85k can get you a lot more than a m3

shaquilleoatmeal

11:19

i think assets go towards the calculation though ^ thats why i don't want to invest it

[] TheAdoptedOne

11:19

what do you think a car is considered

[] TheAdoptedOne

11:20

its an asset listed on your taxes which are used to calculate financial aid

shaquilleoatmeal

11:20

fahk true, i don't know why that slipped my mind

texaslawhopefully

11:20

Need-based aid is mostly loans though. I mean law schools are way more stingy with need based aid than undergrad schools.

texaslawhopefully

11:20

Merit aid is more common at the vast majority of schools.

[] TheAdoptedOne

11:20

yeah most money thrown at you will be merit based

shaquilleoatmeal

11:21

dont think ill get merit, below every 25th lsat, above every 75th gpa

babycat

11:21

okay then maybe look at some schools where you will get merit aid

[] TheAdoptedOne

11:21

if you have 75k, that is a year of law school at most places. basically a self funded scholarship

babycat

11:21

washu LSAT redacted?

texaslawhopefully

11:22

Oh, you have 75k in funds lmao

texaslawhopefully

11:22

washu would def give you merit aid

[] TheAdoptedOne

11:22

well he said he was gonna buy a new m3 and it would only take out most of his savings. new m3 is priced between 75-85k rn

shaquilleoatmeal

11:23

nah gotta stay local cant go somewhere, realistically

[] TheAdoptedOne

11:23

if you are concerned with assets playing a part in financial aid then maybe you could set up a trust or an asset in a family member's name

texaslawhopefully

11:24

Yeah, I would say taking out less loans would be better than spending it.

[] TheAdoptedOne

11:24

definitely agree with tha
