Expect to indulge in peanut butter, coffee, and thrift sweaters, and that's about it.

I gather after looking at some of the "ads" that a "sugar baby" is something between a hooker and a internet bride? I fished out this statement from one of the first ads listed:

Looking to please my "daddy" in every way imaginable, not looking for a part time arrangement... looking for the real deal. I want to be a "kept boy" and make all of daddies friends jealous.

Jesus save the gays... not literally, of course. Now, I have no problem with a rich partner (I've had and it's fun), but rather the solicitation for one in exchange for "every imaginable pleasure."

The idea of money for sex I think is really nasty.

I don't imagine it will be a problem, especially if you're the type to be easily offended over basic social opinions.

I need to remember this site...not for law school, but for when I am a 45yo partner and I need a comare.

You must admit it...it's tempting. You get set up with money and an apartment. From what I've read on blogs, there aren't too many crazy men on there, though they do make it through. A few of these couples have gotten married. Dignity has a price in some situations. :x

What the OP is actually asking about is a manifestation of the hidden cost of a full time J.D. program; opportunity cost a.k.a. lost income. It's very real yet so few seem willing to take it into account in deciding whether they can actually AFFORD to go to law school.

Personally, I figure the opportunity cost of a three year full time J.D. at around $100,000. That's probably a serious underestimate but I am trying to take summer jobs into account. I am aware of very few scholarships that cover any portion of this cost.

Income lost is definitely an important consideration that most people neglect. You have to figure that you would be making 40-50k (assuming the economy is not what it is), so you're total amount spent/lost on law school is REALLY high.
