[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many more free things are available to the rich who don't need them. I was fortunate to grow up UMC in NJ but I totally noticed this when I arrived in NYC biglaw. My law firm -- free breakfast every morning; lunches at least 2x/wk through some CLE, lunch meeting etc; cookies in the afternoon. All of this is in the "attorneys lounge" -- so not available to the secretaries, support staff, janitors etc. who were living paycheck to paycheck on 40k or less in NYC. We didn't need the free breakfast -- associates can spend $5 on a bagel and coffee; yet for someone who is paycheck to paycheck, that $5/day savings is $25/week that can pay a half a month of electric.[/quote]

Not sure how prevalent this is but I know of two college students who chose to attend out of state schools with the full funding of their college funds and brokerage accounts which allowed them to take advantage of loopholes to show they were in-state residents (show that you are self supporting) and as a result, were able to obtain in-state tuition rates for most of their four year attendance. They both had out of state peers who obtained student loans which prohibited them from qualifying as "self supported."[/quote]
