Gotta get a Prius. I spend less than $1k a year on gas and drive ~16k miles a year. Is $2k a month for a decent 2 bedroom in Manhattan?ruizdaw wrote:Gas adds up mayne. It's comparatively less but it's still a decent chunk. And for 2,000 a month you are getting a decent two bedroom which means split costs.

it's ultimately up to you, but as you've seen multiple people in this thread say, there are no opportunities that come with a law degree that don't involve practicing law. No one wants a [insert literally any other job] who overvalues himself because he spent an exorbitant amount of money on a degree irrelevant to the job at handdrtamale wrote: most dads are in an office 50+ hours / week, at a bullshit job, one that will often allow them way less opportunities than law school would, not even around their kids most of the time. it may be absurd to you, but it is not absurd to me, or in reality imo. you are viewing the situation in a pretty immature way. but this is the internet so i understand. gosh, if this message board is telling of what law students are like, the people im going to be around in law school sure are gonna give me some good laughs.

Ruiz, now when you post I just hear Charlie's voice in my head saying what you post and I'm trying not to laugh at work.ruizdaw wrote:But as long as you get a firm job the student loans will take care of everything until your firm is taking care of you.
decent as in you will likely have a 40+ minute commute to work and won't be in the best neighborhood. currently in 3 bedroom for mid-2k that fits that description (although I personally love the neighborhood)JackelJ wrote:As in the shower head is also over the toilet and the bedroom is in the kitchen decent?ruizdaw wrote:Not decent as in "decent," but decent as in decent.

Try taking off the ?noredirect bit. Also try adding www at the top. You shouldn't need the www but bbcode is weirdbuckiguy_sucks wrote:no idea haharuizdaw wrote:What did I do wrong?buckiguy_sucks wrote:this is at least the second image of the day you've failed at posting correctlyruizdaw wrote:

A tall blue moon was ~10. Johnny walker black was ~18, glennfiddich ~18. Whiskey & coke was 12 for well.
Not sure how representative this is to rest of NY though.
I am married with two kids and plan on attending law school in 2016. I have a good amount of savings and 100% scholarship (GI Bill); however, after reading this post I am deeply concerned about my future. Will my marriage / family make it through three rigorous years of law school Whacka? I request your insight and guidance immediately so I can plan accordingly.whacka wrote:"dad play with me"drtamale wrote:whacka wrote:even if you get it for half that price, or a fourth, or free, how can you justify three years of not working - but still paying for food and rent and happy hour - at probably the most critical time in your life just because you want to be able to say you went to law school (let's face it - that's what this boils down to)?drtamale wrote: yup. except the law school i will go to will not be anywhere near that price.
pretty easily really. plus, fyi, since you are figuring my expenses, i have a 2 year old.
"no i'm studying"
"why"
"because this is fun"
this is absurd dude, I really don't understand it. To make such a time-consuming and costly decisions just for shits and giggles - especially when you have a dependent - is seriously unfathomable to me. Law school is already a strain on peoples' relationships when they actually want to use their degrees, but to go for it on a lark? Just... why??
