Ah, the joys of bar review. After receiving my credit card bill for the month (not a pleasant sight), vivid memories of tuition payment times come rushing back. Law school was not a cheap experience.

I find myself in a curious situation, although given the current economic conditions, not unique by any stretch of the imagination. I am currently, shall we say, "between careers," and thus, without a steady source of income. Happily, the last decade or so between bar exams has not been spent on endless binge drinking and visits to that other, more common type of bar. I had a steady career, managed people, and tucked away a few pennies here and there. Bought a house a couple of years after taking the California bar, and since it was before the bubble, it appreciated well - not in the triple digits, but nicely. So, when we sold the house recently, even with the downturn in prices, we made enough of a profit to give ourselves a small cushion. Moving to Florida also cut back on a lot of expenses (cost of living in Southern California is out of control).
So, since the bar exam is not until February of next year, and BARBRI classes don't start until December, I decided to pay the full tuition up front and get my hands on their many tomes of knowledge (shout out to all D&D fans out there) and get a head start in the review.
