    I starve a lot and do not drive. I make less than 6,000 a year, actually. We are mutually supporting on the racetrack. I also win quite a bit betting my own horses that I know will run well. As of last November, I work in the college cafeteria over the table, now.

    so how do you plan on paying for law school? While I cannot give you the costs of too many, the least expensive I know of is about $40k yearly so you are looking at at least $120k for law school alone
    We are mutually supporting on the racetrack
    .ya but a when you take two people that cannot support themselves independently and put them together, that doesn't magically allow you to support both of them on the same amount of money
    I also win quite a bit betting my own horses that I know will run well.
    that is reportable income

    OK, look buddy, I'm not on here to explain every detail of my life to you, but since you want to poke into my personal finances even, here ya go:

    I was just wondering about what state I'm from, officially. I may not go to law school. If I do, it will be on a ton of financial aid, merit scholarships, and grants. If I come up short, then oh well. I guess I'll have to find a different line of work. From what I hear, being a lawyer isn't a good thing to get into nowadays, anyway.

    It's not two people, it's several people who pool their resources together. Some days one guy has money, other days I do, because I just hit an exacta for a couple hundred. Everyone helps everyone. We cook out a lot. Our bosses take us out to dinner after winning races. Jockeys and owners come by the barn and throw everyone a hundred bucks or more after winning a big race. We travel by riding in the back of 18-wheelers with the horses across ten states. We help other trainers with work they might need done for 50 bucks here or there. It's 7 days a week at 4am and it's a hard f'king life. I've got rheumatoid arthritis in my hands and other places so bad I had to get out of the business. It's highly dangerous working with animals that pretty much would rather injure or kill you than look at you. My friends and I are a durable bunch, and we can survive on peanuts. We don't do it for the money, we do it because we love racing and we love horses. At least my friends and I do. If some IRS dicks want to come by and arrest me over these peanuts, have at it. I will endure, regardless. I hope they think it was worth wasting the money on me, and I think it's a shame they are not out frying bigger fish.

    And betting income is only reportable if the winning on a 2 dollar ticket pays over $600. I know how to bet so that I don't win like that.

    Further, I attend one of the cheapest colleges in the country, and one of the worst, academically. That's why I would have liked to attend FSU or somewhere decent. And this is possible with zero money. I have the grades. And again, if not, then oh well. I guess it will be a lesser-known, more affordable school. I am on a total full ride at my current school, for your further information.

    But thanks for the info for those who helped. I'm outta here.

    When you ask a question that focuses on something absolutely critical, you really shouldn't complain.

    Hey, I heard that the Bills will the Super Bowl next year. Doesn't mean the speaker actually has a clue.

    Ah yes. I can see you've been raised appropriately.

    Not according to the IRS.

    I would never have known.

    And in one post you've shown exactly why you're nowhere mature enough for emancipation.
    Um, he's 45. I don't think emancipation is an issue.

    Ok, bottom line: It's Tuesday. Your current state of residence is New Mexico.

    btw: lawyers, regardless of any reputation they have, have rules of ethics where intentionally screwing the IRS out of their share of money is generally in contrast to how you are expected to comport yourself.

    Further, I attend one of the cheapest colleges in the country, and one of the worst, academically.
    not sure if you are proud of that or ashamed. Given you made a big issue of being on a full scholarship, I suspect you are proud. I don't think I would be.

    yes, they will absolutely think it is worth it. I have known people with no more than you have that the IRS had no problem enforcing the tax laws with.

    Again the "state of legal residence" is immaterial to the original posters ACTUAL question.

    The question was "Do I qualify for 'in state' tuition?" This is distinct from the state of legal residence. The answer for Florida is clearly NO regardless of where he considers his state or where he pays taxes or any of the other issues brought up. He may not even qualify in New Mexico. New Mexico requires both that the legal residence be in the state for 12 months but also the intent to permanently reside there. He'd probably have to make more of a commitment than he has to qualify.

    obviously the discussion devolved into something a bit different but yes, the state of legal residence is material since if he is a resident of a state other than Florida, he does not qualify for in state tuition in Florida ergo, the fact he is a resident of New Mexico is a material point.


    New Mexico requires both that the legal residence be in the state for 12 months but also the intent to permanently reside there.
    as does Florida so since he is a resident of NM, that fact he is a resident of NM is material and that one fact alone disqualifies him from being eligible for in state tuition in Florida
