The month of April rolls in as a joke on the first day of the month, then they
go ahead and tell us that it’s the month of financial literacy. Nowadays,
college has become the punchline to financial literacy. Financial aid
is a pretty common thing when it comes to college, and students
are always scrambling to get the most out of the government.
Those funds usually go to their tuition and thousand dollar
textbooks. This is why the internet almost blew up when
Brandon Lerry posted about spending his $2500 of financial
aid on an exotic trip to Thailand with his girlfriend. Although
little did people know that it was twenty-five hundred dollars of
leftovers. In a Facebook post, Lerry expresses that “As a film
student you luckily don't need many textbooks.” Seems to me
that, as long as you can name the importance of your big purchase,
you can spend it however you like.
