[01:21] (81.56s)
new names here for those that are kind
[01:23] (83.20s)
of new to this kind of system and our
[01:25] (85.60s)
presentations right just a little bit
[01:27] (87.36s)
about me uh I'm a former law you know uh
[01:30] (90.64s)
college and law school admission reader
[01:32] (92.68s)
right uh I was a former former La lawyer
[01:35] (95.36s)
in my past life right I've been working
[01:37] (97.48s)
with students for the past 16 years now
[01:39] (99.76s)
and I've also been working with students
[01:41] (101.40s)
on financial aid for the last 15 years
[01:44] (104.24s)
right I've been able to save families a
[01:46] (106.28s)
lot of money and I am hoping that I can
[01:48] (108.36s)
save your family a lot of money as well
[01:51] (111.68s)
now one of the things that a lot of
[01:53] (113.72s)
fames come for is my kind of breaking
[01:56] (116.64s)
news section right unfortunately for
[01:58] (118.88s)
this week there's not much right the one
[02:01] (121.68s)
thing I did want to make sure that
[02:03] (123.00s)
families understand is that California
[02:05] (125.12s)
has extended its financial aid deadline
[02:06] (126.68s)
to April 2nd so if you're a family that
[02:08] (128.72s)
hasn't turned in anything yet you have a
[02:10] (130.60s)
week left or more like five days right
[02:13] (133.84s)
so make sure to get on that as soon as
[02:16] (136.56s)
possible as far as other financial aid
[02:19] (139.28s)
news right there's new articles out but
[02:21] (141.52s)
it's the old it's the same old news
[02:23] (143.28s)
right everyone's worried about what's
[02:24] (144.52s)
going to happen to the Department of
[02:25] (145.60s)
Education I'm worried about it too right
[02:27] (147.68s)
Federal loans pel grants all these
[02:29] (149.96s)
things what's going to happen right
[02:32] (152.12s)
unfortunately the the news is all still
[02:34] (154.76s)
kind of up in the air right I presented
[02:36] (156.84s)
kind of like two three four weeks ago
[02:38] (158.68s)
about all the changes that are happening
[02:40] (160.52s)
and that might happen right you know
[02:42] (162.40s)
loans might get shifted to a different
[02:43] (163.96s)
department Aid might go to a different
[02:45] (165.60s)
department so on and so so forth Nothing
[02:47] (167.92s)
is for sure yet everything is status quo
[02:50] (170.72s)
as it is except for jobs obviously right
[02:53] (173.52s)
I think half the workforce of the US
[02:55] (175.24s)
Department of Education was let go right
[02:57] (177.96s)
so that's a huge change but I don't know
[03:00] (180.36s)
what's going to happen with everything
[03:01] (181.72s)
yet again I am probably the person that
[03:04] (184.20s)
is looking at this the most so I'll try
[03:06] (186.32s)
to bring you new news as soon as it is
[03:09] (189.04s)
out right or as soon as it's out and
[03:10] (190.96s)
we're having a training okay but if you
[03:13] (193.24s)
do have questions about anything and how
[03:14] (194.84s)
that might affect your situation again
[03:16] (196.80s)
reach out to me I am very reachable by
[03:19] (199.28s)
email on Facebook Messenger if you're in
[03:21] (201.56s)
our coaching program in your Discord
[03:23] (203.60s)
Channel okay so with that let's go into
[03:27] (207.16s)
the training for today okay my fair
[03:29] (209.36s)
warning is always this right if you've
[03:31] (211.04s)
ever heard your family makes a little
[03:32] (212.52s)
too much money right your family's not
[03:34] (214.48s)
eligible if you think that owning your
[03:36] (216.44s)
home disqualifies you right or if that
[03:38] (218.56s)
or if you have a rental property that
[03:39] (219.84s)
disqualifies you right you're probably
[03:41] (221.88s)
the family that I need to talk to okay
[03:44] (224.72s)
there's too many opportunities out there
[03:46] (226.64s)
for parents to get money and families to
[03:49] (229.12s)
get money okay so I will have a link at
[03:52] (232.00s)
the end so you can sign up for a
[03:53] (233.36s)
financial aid consultation right the one
[03:55] (235.36s)
good thing about our program is that hey
[03:57] (237.04s)
we have a money back guarantee right if
[03:59] (239.28s)
it doesn't work work out and we're not
[04:00] (240.84s)
able to get you the financial aid that
[04:02] (242.40s)
we promised hey you get your money back
[04:04] (244.80s)
right and at least you know an expert in
[04:06] (246.96s)
this field did your financial aid and
[04:09] (249.08s)
was not able to get you anything okay so
[04:12] (252.56s)
before we get into our training on
[04:13] (253.80s)
scholarships just a quick word for our
[04:15] (255.36s)
sponsors I do see that there are several
[04:17] (257.76s)
11th graders here right now for those
[04:20] (260.00s)
11th graders my question to you is yes
[04:22] (262.28s)
paying for college is definitely
[04:23] (263.64s)
important but the more important part is
[04:26] (266.40s)
getting into the colleges that our
[04:28] (268.56s)
student wants right and so with that I
[04:31] (271.48s)
do want to make sure that our families
[04:33] (273.40s)
know that I am part of of a bigger
[04:35] (275.96s)
organization right and that bigger
[04:37] (277.84s)
organization is Eagle Lock right we are
[04:39] (279.92s)
formerly known as College admission
[04:41] (281.92s)
Secrets okay now as part of our Eagle
[04:45] (285.44s)
Lock coaching program we do have a
[04:47] (287.96s)
college application intensive our
[04:50] (290.16s)
college application intensive is a two
[04:52] (292.56s)
weekend event where students can come
[04:54] (294.92s)
with their kind of you know ideas leave
[04:57] (297.16s)
with rough drafts and then for the
[04:58] (298.68s)
second part they Accel Ator leave with
[05:01] (301.08s)
final drafts of their main essays so if
[05:04] (304.56s)
that is something that interests you you
[05:05] (305.96s)
can definitely go to our website College
[05:07] (307.96s)
intensive.com I will also have a QR link
[05:10] (310.92s)
and a phone number that you can you know
[05:13] (313.20s)
um that you can uh text so that you can
[05:16] (316.48s)
get more information about it if you if
[05:18] (318.36s)
you are interested as well but for those
[05:20] (320.52s)
11th graders out there this is something
[05:23] (323.68s)
that will greatly help you a lot of
[05:25] (325.88s)
students feel like they know how to
[05:27] (327.60s)
write unfortunately no high school
[05:30] (330.28s)
student is prepared to write the college
[05:32] (332.52s)
application essays okay so keep that in
[05:35] (335.56s)
mind okay and so this is available for
[05:37] (337.36s)
families right but let us actually
[05:40] (340.08s)
finally get into our scholarship
[05:41] (341.72s)
training now okay so scholarships right
[05:44] (344.80s)
the first question that we have is well
[05:46] (346.48s)
where do you find them right the first
[05:48] (348.76s)
thing right is many times colleges
[05:52] (352.12s)
provide scholarships right now to make
[05:55] (355.24s)
this easy and and differentiate it what
[05:58] (358.28s)
I'm actually going to do is call all the
[06:00] (360.04s)
money that a college gives to us right
[06:02] (362.68s)
free money right the reason why I want
[06:05] (365.04s)
to differentiate is because I'm also
[06:06] (366.52s)
going to be talking about outside
[06:07] (367.92s)
scholarships later okay but for this
[06:10] (370.68s)
purpose it's free money right now
[06:13] (373.20s)
different colleges have different
[06:14] (374.32s)
regulations requirements for students to
[06:16] (376.16s)
be eligible for scholarships okay moving
[06:20] (380.32s)
on right one of the pieces of the puzzle
[06:22] (382.76s)
is Merit Scholarships okay now I put a
[06:26] (386.12s)
little kind of comment in here that well
[06:27] (387.72s)
they don't really exist right I have had
[06:30] (390.68s)
thousands of consultations with families
[06:32] (392.68s)
and asked me like oh yeah well my
[06:33] (393.92s)
students going to get Merit Scholarships
[06:36] (396.32s)
right they're not really there right I
[06:39] (399.44s)
want families to think that they do not
[06:41] (401.60s)
exist right and let me tell you why
[06:44] (404.08s)
right the first is that pure Merit
[06:47] (407.20s)
Scholarships are very far in few between
[06:49] (409.76s)
I'm not saying that they don't exist but
[06:51] (411.40s)
they're a little bit like the loch nest
[06:53] (413.12s)
monster there's a lot of people that
[06:54] (414.84s)
says that that say that they have seen
[06:56] (416.72s)
the log nness monster but there's like
[06:58] (418.84s)
no definitive proof right now again I do
[07:02] (422.44s)
know that they exist because even in
[07:04] (424.20s)
California where I am based right there
[07:06] (426.72s)
are pure Merit Scholarships available
[07:09] (429.60s)
right well let's let's kind of qualify
[07:12] (432.24s)
that there are Merit Scholarships
[07:13] (433.96s)
available but it's not only based on
[07:15] (435.96s)
your Merit okay now the closest thing
[07:18] (438.20s)
that we have in our UC system right in
[07:20] (440.56s)
the University of California system is
[07:22] (442.52s)
something called the Regents or
[07:23] (443.88s)
Chancellor scholarship okay each UC has
[07:27] (447.60s)
a set number of Regents or or Chancellor
[07:30] (450.32s)
scholarships that they give out to
[07:31] (451.60s)
students right now if you look at the
[07:34] (454.76s)
fine print of the Regents or the
[07:37] (457.12s)
chancellor scholarship it literally
[07:39] (459.20s)
tells you that it is that you kind of
[07:42] (462.00s)
get chosen by your Merit but the amount
[07:44] (464.80s)
that you get which can range anywhere
[07:46] (466.52s)
from2 to
[07:48] (468.04s)
$20,000 right is based on your financial
[07:50] (470.96s)
need right so just to kind of like put
[07:54] (474.92s)
it into perspective right each year
[07:58] (478.84s)
right the CES accept or send out about
[08:01] (481.64s)
10,000 acceptance letters to students
[08:03] (483.80s)
okay out of those 10,000 acceptance
[08:06] (486.88s)
letters that they send out they send out
[08:08] (488.64s)
about 50 Regents or Chancellor
[08:11] (491.64s)
scholarships okay so if you're one of
[08:14] (494.16s)
the lucky students to get one of those
[08:16] (496.12s)
50 kind of spots that they have at each
[08:18] (498.44s)
individual UC campus right your chances
[08:21] (501.40s)
are 50 out of 10,000 right that's not a
[08:24] (504.44s)
very good chance right so but kind of
[08:27] (507.92s)
going forward right if you are one of
[08:30] (510.36s)
those right then it depends on where
[08:32] (512.48s)
your family's income lands on the totem
[08:34] (514.76s)
pole right so if your family is near the
[08:37] (517.16s)
top income earners you're going to get
[08:38] (518.88s)
closer to 2,000 if your family's a lower
[08:41] (521.24s)
income earner or at the bottom of the
[08:42] (522.76s)
totem pole then you're going to get more
[08:44] (524.40s)
money okay so while Merit Scholarships
[08:47] (527.24s)
do exist to a certain extent sometimes
[08:49] (529.92s)
they change depending on your family's
[08:53] (533.36s)
income okay now I pulled this off a
[08:56] (536.40s)
school's website I believe it was like
[08:57] (537.92s)
LMU right so it says here Merit
[09:00] (540.60s)
Scholarships recognize achievements in
[09:02] (542.16s)
high school and are based on academics
[09:03] (543.60s)
rigor and curriculum quality of
[09:04] (544.96s)
application and test scores okay so
[09:08] (548.08s)
they're basically saying that your merit
[09:09] (549.40s)
scholarship is based on everything in
[09:10] (550.92s)
your application right and just like the
[09:13] (553.84s)
uc's there is a range right it can be as
[09:17] (557.12s)
high as $40,000 per year that means that
[09:20] (560.36s)
some kids are going to get $200 some
[09:22] (562.32s)
kids are going to get $1,000 some kids
[09:24] (564.32s)
are going to get $40,000 right so what
[09:27] (567.16s)
do you think that is based on it's based
[09:29] (569.88s)
on their financial need okay so for
[09:32] (572.80s)
parents out there with 11th graders oh
[09:34] (574.40s)
my student did really well right so at
[09:37] (577.76s)
you know they're going to get some merit
[09:39] (579.00s)
scholarship you need to get that out of
[09:40] (580.88s)
your brain okay it does not exist right
[09:44] (584.12s)
and at kind of like the top 20 schools
[09:46] (586.32s)
in the United States they explicitly
[09:48] (588.16s)
State on their websites that they do not
[09:50] (590.16s)
have any merit-based awards okay if the
[09:53] (593.04s)
top 20 is doing that right everyone else
[09:55] (595.60s)
is kind of following along what they're
[09:57] (597.04s)
doing now if you apply to a little bit
[09:59] (599.56s)
more of a unknown School an obscure
[10:01] (601.76s)
school and your student is a very very
[10:03] (603.96s)
high kind of ranking High achieving
[10:06] (606.48s)
student is there a chance that they give
[10:08] (608.20s)
you money to incentivize you to come yes
[10:10] (610.92s)
there is right is is there an in
[10:14] (614.12s)
incentive given to students from out of
[10:15] (615.76s)
state from schools like ASU right they
[10:18] (618.12s)
love California students right is there
[10:20] (620.04s)
an incentive given to have those
[10:21] (621.88s)
California students come yes but it's
[10:23] (623.92s)
not really a scholarship if you're from
[10:25] (625.72s)
California and you apply to ASU and your
[10:28] (628.08s)
GPA is above a 2 .5 then they
[10:30] (630.56s)
automatically give you $50,000 over the
[10:32] (632.68s)
course of four years it's not because of
[10:35] (635.00s)
your academic kind of standing it's just
[10:37] (637.92s)
because you're coming from out of state
[10:39] (639.08s)
they want to incentivize you to spend
[10:41] (641.08s)
money in Arizona okay so keep that in
[10:43] (643.92s)
mind there right then there's other free
[10:46] (646.80s)
money right colleges see it all the time
[10:48] (648.96s)
right you'll see some examples of it
[10:50] (650.56s)
later when I kind of get to kind of our
[10:52] (652.40s)
more recent results right they might
[10:54] (654.40s)
call it Aid or departmental funding or
[10:56] (656.56s)
scholarship or Grant or some waiver
[10:58] (658.76s)
right but the end of the day it is free
[11:00] (660.76s)
money right any extra money we can
[11:03] (663.04s)
squeeze out of colleges is a great thing
[11:06] (666.00s)
okay so that is kind of the the
[11:09] (669.80s)
scholarships that you can get from
[11:11] (671.00s)
college right free money okay now how to
[11:14] (674.52s)
attack this right I showed you what it
[11:16] (676.60s)
said on that on LMU lmu's website about
[11:19] (679.36s)
their Merit kind of scholarships it's
[11:21] (681.20s)
about your application how you present
[11:23] (683.28s)
yourself colleges are looking not for
[11:25] (685.92s)
quantitative GPA factors right they're
[11:28] (688.72s)
looking support qualitative factors that
[11:31] (691.16s)
give them a reason to give money to a
[11:33] (693.88s)
particular student right focus on your
[11:36] (696.36s)
strengths highlight where you have
[11:38] (698.16s)
dedicated your time right one school
[11:40] (700.60s)
that really loves like students that
[11:42] (702.32s)
does community service is a school like
[11:43] (703.80s)
Tain they have a special scholarship for
[11:46] (706.44s)
students that have participated in a lot
[11:48] (708.56s)
of community service right a high GPA is
[11:52] (712.00s)
not a marker for you getting anything
[11:54] (714.68s)
okay literally I've had students that
[11:56] (716.40s)
are 4.7 this and that
[11:59] (719.60s)
no no merit Aid right I've also had
[12:01] (721.72s)
students that are
[12:03] (723.04s)
3.2 get Merit Aid because but it's not
[12:06] (726.56s)
Merit Aid it is based on all the factors
[12:10] (730.20s)
in your application including your
[12:12] (732.28s)
family's Financial need okay so whether
[12:14] (734.76s)
it's community service Sports projects
[12:17] (737.60s)
right you want to focus on showing how
[12:19] (739.56s)
you have spent your time and remember
[12:21] (741.48s)
colleges want more change makers and
[12:23] (743.80s)
leaders okay that's what they want
[12:26] (746.28s)
that's the person that they want coming
[12:27] (747.64s)
to their campus okay so hopefully all
[12:31] (751.04s)
that made sense right now we're going to
[12:33] (753.84s)
move to the outside scholarships right
[12:36] (756.56s)
now you might be thinking wait the
[12:38] (758.60s)
things we had above were scholarships
[12:40] (760.00s)
again remember that's just free money
[12:41] (761.68s)
we're getting from college right these
[12:43] (763.68s)
outside scholarships are from
[12:46] (766.04s)
organizations or companies that aren't
[12:48] (768.04s)
affiliated with your college think
[12:49] (769.88s)
Facebook Instagram Coca-Cola Pepsi
[12:52] (772.48s)
Rotary Club your like your city
[12:54] (774.80s)
scholarship those are the types of
[12:56] (776.76s)
scholarships that we are talking about
[12:58] (778.68s)
now okay now for those scholarships
[13:02] (782.44s)
there are some things that you need to
[13:04] (784.16s)
watch out for okay and there's a couple
[13:07] (787.52s)
things right the first one is how many
[13:09] (789.64s)
years can you get this scholarship that
[13:12] (792.44s)
is a very important question second is
[13:16] (796.04s)
what are the requirements if they
[13:18] (798.04s)
require you to be 20 years or older well
[13:20] (800.68s)
you can't get it as a freshman because
[13:22] (802.52s)
you're not old enough right they might
[13:24] (804.68s)
have essays they might have letters of
[13:26] (806.52s)
recommendation you need to turn in they
[13:28] (808.24s)
might also need an interview there's a
[13:30] (810.24s)
lot of different things that are part of
[13:32] (812.00s)
these outside scholarships some of them
[13:33] (813.92s)
maybe even have you come like to a
[13:35] (815.80s)
dinner and like you have to go up there
[13:37] (817.68s)
on the stage and like hold up a little
[13:39] (819.72s)
thing and take a picture even right so
[13:42] (822.08s)
just make sure that you can abide by all
[13:44] (824.40s)
the requirements that that the
[13:45] (825.88s)
scholarship has now the biggest question
[13:50] (830.64s)
that is important to outside
[13:52] (832.84s)
scholarships is where are they sending
[13:55] (835.56s)
the money to if you win okay now you
[13:59] (839.16s)
guys might be thinking no it's more
[14:00] (840.88s)
important that we win no it's not right
[14:03] (843.64s)
so it is more important where they're
[14:05] (845.36s)
sending the money if you win okay so
[14:08] (848.36s)
let's talk about that right where is the
[14:10] (850.68s)
money going right the most important
[14:13] (853.72s)
factor and that that question I
[14:14] (854.96s)
underlined where are they sending the
[14:16] (856.16s)
money is because of something called
[14:18] (858.96s)
scholarship displacement right now I
[14:22] (862.36s)
have talked about this a lot right about
[14:25] (865.56s)
how outside scholarships can actually
[14:27] (867.32s)
end up harming your financial aid
[14:29] (869.72s)
right now I was searching right and I
[14:33] (873.20s)
was like looking at this and looking at
[14:34] (874.80s)
that and then finally right I Came Upon
[14:37] (877.64s)
This word right this term right and I
[14:39] (879.68s)
haven't really used it because I don't
[14:42] (882.12s)
think it
[14:43] (883.20s)
really displacement isn't really the
[14:45] (885.40s)
right right word I think right I don't
[14:47] (887.64s)
necessarily like the term but this is
[14:48] (888.96s)
the actual real terminology that
[14:51] (891.36s)
colleges use that kind of Scholars use
[14:54] (894.16s)
when they're talking about the
[14:55] (895.20s)
phenomenon that I'm going to talk about
[14:56] (896.68s)
now okay but it is scholarship this
[14:59] (899.16s)
displacement okay scholarship
[15:01] (901.28s)
displacement is basically this right
[15:04] (904.08s)
scholarship displacement is what happens
[15:05] (905.92s)
when you get an outside scholarship and
[15:08] (908.00s)
it gets sent directly to the college you
[15:10] (910.52s)
will be attending okay now you might be
[15:13] (913.64s)
thinking why does it matter where they
[15:15] (915.40s)
send it right but let me explain it a
[15:18] (918.12s)
little bit more okay so I'm going to
[15:21] (921.68s)
give you an example okay so let's say
[15:25] (925.08s)
our student they have gotten into USC
[15:27] (927.68s)
right the cost of attendance at USC is
[15:31] (931.48s)
$999,000 in change right now there's a
[15:35] (935.00s)
lot of parents probably out there
[15:36] (936.16s)
thinking oh my god when did College
[15:38] (938.20s)
become so expensive right college has
[15:41] (941.08s)
gone up by crazy amounts right when I
[15:43] (943.88s)
went to college and again even my
[15:45] (945.96s)
college was expensive at the time it was
[15:48] (948.12s)
$72,000 that was everything room board
[15:50] (950.52s)
tuition everything everything included
[15:52] (952.56s)
right it has gone up
[15:55] (955.80s)
$227,000 in the last I'm not going to
[15:58] (958.20s)
tell you how old I am so you guys will
[16:00] (960.24s)
have to guess right but let's say
[16:03] (963.16s)
$99,000 USC was going to give you
[16:06] (966.52s)
$40,000 that's what they deemed that
[16:08] (968.56s)
they needed to give you so your family
[16:10] (970.00s)
could afford coming to USC but let's say
[16:13] (973.12s)
that you got a Coca-Cola scholarship
[16:16] (976.24s)
$18,000 right now for most people right
[16:20] (980.56s)
and because I've used this example so
[16:22] (982.28s)
much I know everyone knows the answer
[16:23] (983.92s)
right I do see some new people here so
[16:25] (985.48s)
you might not know but most normal
[16:28] (988.28s)
people would think well USC was going to
[16:30] (990.04s)
give me 48 right Coca-Cola is going to
[16:32] (992.60s)
give me 18 that means now I have
[16:36] (996.28s)
$58,000 and so the difference is going
[16:38] (998.92s)
to be $41,000 that's what I need to pay
[16:41] (1001.48s)
out of pocket in order to go to
[16:44] (1004.32s)
USC right but let's take a look at what
[16:47] (1007.60s)
actually happens here okay this is what
[16:50] (1010.72s)
happens USC was originally going to give
[16:53] (1013.00s)
you 40 but you brought in $118,000 on
[16:56] (1016.28s)
your own by putting in your own time and
[16:58] (1018.44s)
efforts
[16:59] (1019.76s)
now USC only has to give you
[17:02] (1022.76s)
$22,000 plus the 18 that you filled to
[17:06] (1026.00s)
be at that $40,000 Mark right the way
[17:08] (1028.68s)
you can think about this is this they
[17:10] (1030.84s)
what they're what they're saying is that
[17:12] (1032.44s)
$40,000 is the amount you need to make
[17:14] (1034.72s)
it affordable for your family to come to
[17:16] (1036.40s)
USC but if you find money on your own
[17:19] (1039.20s)
well now USC well we don't need to give
[17:21] (1041.68s)
you that money anymore instead you found
[17:24] (1044.04s)
that money yourself right so that's okay
[17:27] (1047.84s)
because well at the end of the day
[17:28] (1048.92s)
you're still getting
[17:29] (1049.92s)
$40,000 but the question becomes what
[17:33] (1053.32s)
happens after the first year let's
[17:35] (1055.80s)
assume that the Coca-Cola scholarship
[17:37] (1057.84s)
was only good for one year it's a
[17:40] (1060.52s)
one-year scholarship then it's done
[17:42] (1062.80s)
right well this is what happens
[17:45] (1065.48s)
congratulations your family is now the
[17:47] (1067.84s)
proud owner of another 18K in money that
[17:51] (1071.44s)
you have to pay for college right in
[17:54] (1074.04s)
addition to that another negative result
[17:57] (1077.28s)
that comes about because of of this is
[17:59] (1079.88s)
that your your family's Baseline
[18:02] (1082.12s)
financial aid is now set at
[18:04] (1084.80s)
$22,000 that's what USC thinks that they
[18:07] (1087.92s)
need to give you every year because you
[18:09] (1089.60s)
brought in money on your own okay so
[18:12] (1092.72s)
instead of getting $40,000 and $40,000
[18:15] (1095.76s)
and $40,000 and another 40 for a total
[18:19] (1099.52s)
$160,000 now you got 40 the first year
[18:23] (1103.08s)
from your own efforts right the 18 plus
[18:24] (1104.88s)
the 22 and then moving forward you're
[18:28] (1108.28s)
going to get another $22,000 per year
[18:30] (1110.96s)
that's
[18:32] (1112.32s)
$66,000 that means that your total
[18:34] (1114.96s)
financial aid that you're going to get
[18:36] (1116.12s)
for the course of those four years is
[18:38] (1118.96s)
$106,000 Right compared to
[18:42] (1122.28s)
$160,000 you just lost out
[18:45] (1125.48s)
on I don't know I don't know how much
[18:47] (1127.44s)
cars cost
[18:48] (1128.72s)
nowadays but you probably you probably
[18:51] (1131.28s)
lost out on Alexus right that is
[18:54] (1134.52s)
basically what you lost out on right and
[18:57] (1137.00s)
I have this little owl over here saying
[18:58] (1138.40s)
congrat ulations but it's not really
[19:00] (1140.12s)
congratulations at the end of it you
[19:02] (1142.32s)
kind of put yourself in this position
[19:05] (1145.52s)
right so right now I know that there's
[19:09] (1149.08s)
going to be people that go out on Google
[19:11] (1151.52s)
and search right so I'm going to do it
[19:13] (1153.24s)
for you okay one of the things that they
[19:15] (1155.64s)
might say is well yeah no scholarship
[19:17] (1157.36s)
displacement is illegal in
[19:20] (1160.08s)
California right and you're right it is
[19:23] (1163.92s)
but it's for a very specific group of
[19:27] (1167.00s)
people okay so if there are students
[19:30] (1170.12s)
that are eligible for federal pel grants
[19:33] (1173.48s)
those are the only people that are not
[19:36] (1176.52s)
where the colleges are not allowed to do
[19:38] (1178.76s)
scholarship displacement anyone that is
[19:41] (1181.20s)
not receiving the pel grant right will
[19:44] (1184.08s)
not will their scholarships will be
[19:46] (1186.36s)
displaced okay now just to give you some
[19:49] (1189.12s)
context of about that in order to get
[19:51] (1191.56s)
the pel Grant from the federal
[19:53] (1193.04s)
government in California your income
[19:55] (1195.40s)
needs to be below that around 60k or
[19:58] (1198.24s)
less Mark right if you're above
[20:02] (1202.00s)
60k good luck getting the pel grant
[20:05] (1205.00s)
right but if you're below that you can
[20:07] (1207.56s)
and then you will be protected so you
[20:09] (1209.68s)
can get scholarships from anywhere and
[20:12] (1212.20s)
the school they cannot lower your
[20:14] (1214.20s)
financial aid based on those outside
[20:16] (1216.72s)
scholarships okay so again I know that
[20:19] (1219.68s)
someone later is going to bring this up
[20:20] (1220.84s)
and say no they don't do that right but
[20:22] (1222.80s)
no they do right all the time okay but
[20:26] (1226.16s)
that is the exception if you are a pel
[20:28] (1228.08s)
grant recipient they cannot do that so
[20:30] (1230.72s)
even if you bring in 20 30 40 50 60
[20:33] (1233.44s)
$70,000 in outside scholarships they
[20:36] (1236.32s)
cannot displace your financial aid okay
[20:40] (1240.76s)
so keep that in mind here now the
[20:43] (1243.16s)
takeaways from this okay and again if
[20:46] (1246.00s)
you guys do have questions make sure to
[20:47] (1247.44s)
put them in the Q&A in the chat
[20:49] (1249.80s)
somewhere so that we can make sure to
[20:51] (1251.44s)
answer your questions right the first
[20:53] (1253.48s)
thing that I really want to kind of put
[20:54] (1254.88s)
out there is that not all scholarships
[20:56] (1256.64s)
are created equal right you need need to
[20:58] (1258.80s)
make sure that you understand the
[20:59] (1259.80s)
consequences of getting money from those
[21:01] (1261.92s)
outside scholarships the money you're
[21:03] (1263.60s)
getting from school you don't really
[21:04] (1264.84s)
need to worry about it too much right
[21:06] (1266.56s)
they're giving it to you right as long
[21:08] (1268.00s)
as you kind of make satisfactory
[21:10] (1270.00s)
academic progress you'll be fine right
[21:11] (1271.88s)
satisfactory academic progress means
[21:13] (1273.64s)
you're on the way to graduating right so
[21:15] (1275.56s)
un unless you're failing your classes
[21:17] (1277.48s)
you should be okay okay
[21:20] (1280.08s)
so understand the consequences of those
[21:22] (1282.24s)
outside scholarships right even if it
[21:24] (1284.48s)
seems great at the time it could hurt
[21:26] (1286.52s)
you in the long run just like how I
[21:27] (1287.96s)
showed you with USC right and that
[21:30] (1290.16s)
Coca-Cola scholarship right make sure to
[21:32] (1292.76s)
look into the questions I asked before
[21:35] (1295.48s)
right how long is it good for right what
[21:37] (1297.68s)
are the requirements and where are they
[21:39] (1299.48s)
sending the money to right so for a lot
[21:42] (1302.84s)
of our students we say hey go ahead and
[21:44] (1304.64s)
apply and then we'll decide what we take
[21:46] (1306.16s)
later I have students that literally
[21:48] (1308.24s)
have won $155,000 scholarships right but
[21:51] (1311.48s)
we have decided not to take them right
[21:53] (1313.92s)
because we know what's going to happen
[21:55] (1315.64s)
as far as the Baseline okay the Baseline
[21:58] (1318.24s)
will be lowered right and because that
[22:00] (1320.16s)
scholarship is only good for one year
[22:01] (1321.72s)
they will lose out on the remainder of
[22:03] (1323.36s)
their three years in college right so
[22:06] (1326.04s)
cash in hand if they're going to hand
[22:07] (1327.28s)
you you know crisp $100 bills no problem
[22:09] (1329.96s)
right we'll even take dollar bills right
[22:11] (1331.88s)
a million of them please right if
[22:13] (1333.72s)
they're going to give you a check if
[22:15] (1335.08s)
they're going to direct deposit into
[22:16] (1336.24s)
your bank account if they're going to
[22:17] (1337.60s)
give you a Visa or MasterCard gift card
[22:20] (1340.08s)
right any of those is okay right but if
[22:23] (1343.04s)
they're saying hey Johnny where are you
[22:25] (1345.40s)
going to be attending in the fall we're
[22:26] (1346.96s)
going to send your scholarship there you
[22:28] (1348.52s)
you just say thanks but no thanks right
[22:30] (1350.68s)
well depending on the situation right so
[22:32] (1352.60s)
if you got no financial aid yes
[22:33] (1353.84s)
obviously that's something that you want
[22:34] (1354.72s)
to take right but if you did get
[22:36] (1356.28s)
financial aid you want to make sure that
[22:37] (1357.84s)
you talk to someone about accepting it
[22:40] (1360.88s)
before you make any decisions about
[22:43] (1363.28s)
where to send it okay so hopefully that
[22:46] (1366.04s)
helps right now a little bit about why
[22:49] (1369.00s)
we're different well first off we have a
[22:50] (1370.96s)
money back guarantee I haven't seen
[22:52] (1372.60s)
another financial aid company out there
[22:54] (1374.04s)
offer a money back guarantee next we
[22:56] (1376.48s)
don't ask you to buy life insurance
[22:58] (1378.12s)
policy or tax deferred annuities right
[23:00] (1380.96s)
we take you as you are with the income
[23:02] (1382.72s)
that you have your student also doesn't
[23:04] (1384.68s)
need to have a 4.5 GPA or 1,600 on their
[23:07] (1387.84s)
SATs right and the biggest one where
[23:10] (1390.64s)
I've seen other companies do this we
[23:12] (1392.68s)
don't ask you to apply to colleges that
[23:15] (1395.64s)
you would never apply to in the first
[23:17] (1397.20s)
place just so that we can keep our
[23:19] (1399.08s)
promise of getting you financial aid
[23:21] (1401.08s)
right other companies they promise you
[23:22] (1402.60s)
the moon right and then they don't
[23:24] (1404.64s)
deliver and then nothing happens us we
[23:27] (1407.80s)
we we tell you exactly what we can get
[23:29] (1409.52s)
you right we give you a range right if
[23:31] (1411.64s)
we don't meet that right and don't meet
[23:33] (1413.40s)
our money back guarantee you get your
[23:35] (1415.36s)
your money back in full right so I'm
[23:38] (1418.20s)
sure we can find a solution for your
[23:39] (1419.60s)
family right and if we can just you know
[23:42] (1422.00s)
make sure that you just know that you
[23:44] (1424.52s)
your money safe because we will give you
[23:46] (1426.12s)
a full money back refund okay now one of
[23:49] (1429.28s)
the things that I want to do was start
[23:50] (1430.76s)
kind of sharing with you guys the
[23:52] (1432.04s)
results that we have gotten for this
[23:53] (1433.52s)
year right um and again we've had some
[23:56] (1436.60s)
great results right and so I I wanted
[23:58] (1438.44s)
Share three of them with you today right
[24:00] (1440.52s)
now I wasn't able to get all the
[24:02] (1442.24s)
information and from one of the students
[24:03] (1443.64s)
I wasn't able to get a screenshot right
[24:05] (1445.40s)
they told me what they got they didn't
[24:06] (1446.60s)
send me a screenshot right but I wanted
[24:08] (1448.12s)
to use it for today right so this
[24:10] (1450.16s)
student here right this student the
[24:12] (1452.32s)
family income was around 347,000 right
[24:15] (1455.00s)
assets was right around 1.4 million they
[24:17] (1457.04s)
owned their own homes they had rental
[24:18] (1458.72s)
properties right they got $30,000 from
[24:21] (1461.00s)
Chapman $35,000 from forom and $37,000
[24:24] (1464.72s)
from University of San Diego okay that's
[24:27] (1467.12s)
one of the results that we have here
[24:28] (1468.56s)
again I only had one that one screenshot
[24:30] (1470.40s)
right and again people might say oh you
[24:32] (1472.08s)
found that somewhere else this is for
[24:33] (1473.48s)
the 25 26 year that is the year that
[24:36] (1476.56s)
these students are going to be headed
[24:38] (1478.12s)
off to college for their first year
[24:40] (1480.04s)
right we have another family right their
[24:41] (1481.96s)
family was around 230k 800 800k in
[24:45] (1485.28s)
assets they own their own home right
[24:48] (1488.36s)
this is the amount that they got from I
[24:50] (1490.12s)
believe it was UC Davis right they got
[24:52] (1492.04s)
about 15 grand Cal grant right they also
[24:54] (1494.40s)
got a campus fee Grant 990 University
[24:57] (1497.32s)
Grant 6.6
[24:58] (1498.84s)
University grant for loan reduction
[25:01] (1501.16s)
3.28 right and then health insurance
[25:03] (1503.64s)
assistance for $3800 too right for a to
[25:06] (1506.64s)
grand total of roughly
[25:14] (1514.88s)
30 around
[25:16] (1516.80s)
$337,000 this family is going to be
[25:18] (1518.72s)
paying
[25:20] (1520.00s)
$5,000 a year to go to UC Davis that is
[25:23] (1523.68s)
their total cost right so they're
[25:25] (1525.76s)
probably going to have to pay for you
[25:27] (1527.28s)
know pay so it's on a quarter system so
[25:30] (1530.52s)
they're going to pay about $1600 in the
[25:32] (1532.80s)
fall $1,600 in the winter and $1600 in
[25:36] (1536.48s)
the spring okay now this student also
[25:39] (1539.20s)
got offers from Santa Clara right now if
[25:41] (1541.72s)
we actually look at the numbers right
[25:43] (1543.04s)
they're going to pay $5,000 at UC right
[25:45] (1545.28s)
this family has probably decided on
[25:46] (1546.76s)
going to a UC at Santa Clara we got them
[25:50] (1550.08s)
$67,000 okay that's $67,000 but you
[25:53] (1553.96s)
Santa clar is an expensive school so
[25:55] (1555.28s)
they'll still have to pay around 20
[25:56] (1556.92s)
right LMU we got 70k right again they're
[26:00] (1560.72s)
still going to have to pay around you
[26:02] (1562.48s)
know 17 $18,000 a year right now the
[26:05] (1565.12s)
decision is up to them now right we've
[26:06] (1566.92s)
provided them with options right that
[26:09] (1569.80s)
can work for their family but again it
[26:12] (1572.40s)
depends on where the student finally
[26:14] (1574.32s)
chooses okay another result we had a
[26:17] (1577.56s)
student going to Baylor right the family
[26:19] (1579.80s)
AGI is around 437,000 right uh the
[26:23] (1583.48s)
assets are over $2 million own their own
[26:25] (1585.56s)
home they also have businesses other
[26:27] (1587.36s)
properties right and this school we were
[26:30] (1590.56s)
able to get them $42,000 a year so it's
[26:33] (1593.88s)
almost it's basically half price for B
[26:37] (1597.16s)
okay so these are some of the results
[26:39] (1599.24s)
that we have been able to achieve this
[26:41] (1601.72s)
current kind of cycle with our students
[26:44] (1604.60s)
right I'm sure there's going to be more
[26:46] (1606.00s)
as students start coming back with the
[26:47] (1607.52s)
results that they have gotten okay now
[26:50] (1610.56s)
again I do want to open it up for Q&A
[26:52] (1612.64s)
right but before I do I want to make
[26:54] (1614.56s)
sure that you guys have the information
[26:56] (1616.48s)
to reach out to us okay so if you are
[26:59] (1619.28s)

quick consultation our consultations are
[27:05] (1625.64s)
always free whether it's for our
[27:07] (1627.08s)

you can also text College to that same
[27:27] (1647.56s)
number if you're interested in our
[27:29] (1649.00s)
coaching programs for younger students
[27:30] (1650.84s)
or in our college application intensive
[27:32] (1652.96s)
I have also put QR codes up here right
[27:35] (1655.48s)
if you are interested in kind of just
[27:36] (1656.64s)
like signing up on your own and finding
[27:38] (1658.00s)
a time right you can go ahead and use
[27:39] (1659.68s)
those QR codes to book a consultation
[27:42] (1662.76s)
with us on either end okay the one on
[27:45] (1665.44s)
the left is going to be for financial
[27:46] (1666.88s)
aid the one on the right is for our
[27:48] (1668.24s)
coaching programs okay so I want to make
[27:51] (1671.00s)
sure that we do open it up for questions
[27:52] (1672.84s)
so I'll give some people time to kind of
[27:55] (1675.04s)
you know take a screenshot you know scan
[27:57] (1677.08s)
the QR code whatever you need to do
[27:59] (1679.36s)
right and then I'll also wait for some
[28:00] (1680.92s)
questions here as well
[28:16] (1696.40s)
okay all right we have a question in the
[28:18] (1698.52s)
Q&A and the question is is there a limit
[28:20] (1700.52s)
to the income that you can have in order
[28:22] (1702.08s)
to get financial aid so as you saw the
[28:24] (1704.48s)
the the kind of numbers or like the
[28:26] (1706.44s)
incomes that I was working with uh for
[28:28] (1708.48s)
those three specific cases we're in the
[28:30] (1710.68s)
200 300 and $400,000 range right now if
[28:33] (1713.84s)
your income is above like you know 3/4
[28:36] (1716.08s)
of a million dollars or it's over a
[28:37] (1717.60s)
million dollars there's probably not
[28:40] (1720.08s)
there's nothing that anyone can do for
[28:41] (1721.48s)
you really right uh unless you are
[28:43] (1723.56s)
forging your taxes every year right uh
[28:46] (1726.08s)
which we do not condone and we do not do
[28:48] (1728.72s)
okay um and so uh but anyone that's kind
[28:52] (1732.32s)
of under that $700,000 Mark is probably
[28:54] (1734.44s)
something that we can is it's probably
[28:55] (1735.76s)
something that we can help right there
[28:57] (1737.32s)
have been instan is where I've been able
[28:59] (1739.00s)
to get money for very high income
[29:02] (1742.84s)
families but it's a very it's because
[29:06] (1746.08s)
the situation is complicated right um
[29:08] (1748.52s)
and so we were able to utilize different
[29:10] (1750.52s)
loopholes in order to get them a little
[29:12] (1752.08s)
money right I was able to get them about
[29:13] (1753.32s)
$155,000 a year
[29:16] (1756.56s)
okay but if you guys do have other
[29:18] (1758.64s)
questions go ahead and put them in the
[29:19] (1759.76s)
Q&A put them in the chat I'm more than
[29:22] (1762.20s)
happy to answer them for you
[29:28] (1768.64s)
it could be about anything it doesn't
[29:29] (1769.84s)
need to be about scholarships anything
[29:31] (1771.24s)
related to financial aid right or kind
[29:33] (1773.60s)
of what's going on in the world those
[29:35] (1775.32s)
are all good questions as well right and
[29:37] (1777.64s)
in the meantime I'll also go ahead and
[29:39] (1779.20s)
put the kind of link
[29:43] (1783.08s)
to the financial
[29:46] (1786.48s)
aid consultation and again they are free
[29:49] (1789.76s)
into the chat here so that you guys can
[29:51] (1791.80s)
go ahead
[29:53] (1793.84s)
and uh you know use that link as well so
[29:56] (1796.68s)
there's three ways to sign up for fin
[29:58] (1798.56s)
text QR code and Link right so there's
[30:01] (1801.48s)
no kind of reason why you shouldn't
[30:03] (1803.80s)
again it's free if I can help you I'll
[30:05] (1805.64s)
let you know if I can't I'll let you
[30:07] (1807.08s)
know as well right so the risk is that I
[30:09] (1809.96s)
actually had a family reach out to me
[30:11] (1811.60s)
yesterday right this family reached out
[30:13] (1813.68s)
to me yesterday and said hey we just saw
[30:16] (1816.28s)
your training yesterday about the CSS
[30:18] (1818.48s)
profile and we realized that we screwed
[30:20] (1820.96s)
up pretty bad because we didn't do
[30:23] (1823.80s)
anything right and I was like we need to
[30:26] (1826.20s)
talk today so I did talk to them today
[30:28] (1828.12s)
and I realized there were still some
[30:29] (1829.28s)
things that we could do for them okay
[30:31] (1831.28s)
they have twins Right double ouchie
[30:34] (1834.28s)
right two kids in college at the same
[30:35] (1835.76s)
time right one got into John's Hopkins
[30:39] (1839.20s)
right the other one I believe is going
[30:41] (1841.00s)
to Emory that's
[30:43] (1843.56s)
$180,000 a year right and so uh we're
[30:48] (1848.16s)
going to do everything that we can to
[30:49] (1849.32s)
help them right and we're probably going
[30:52] (1852.00s)
to be able to get them about 253 Grand a
[30:54] (1854.56s)
year right in their situation okay so we
[30:58] (1858.64s)
have a question here uh it says since
[31:01] (1861.00s)
you mentioned LMU my daughter received
[31:02] (1862.68s)
the presidential scholarship value at
[31:04] (1864.12s)
120k also through 10K per year for golf
[31:06] (1866.80s)
since you mentioned that scholarship
[31:07] (1867.84s)
displacement is not a factor if you
[31:09] (1869.20s)
apply if you qualify for it's not if you
[31:11] (1871.68s)
if you qualify for calg Grant you need
[31:13] (1873.72s)
to qualify for PG Grant right so calr is
[31:17] (1877.80s)
given by the California state the the
[31:19] (1879.36s)
restrictions and limits are a little bit
[31:20] (1880.88s)
different right if you are eligible for
[31:23] (1883.24s)
the pel grant there is no scholarship
[31:26] (1886.00s)
displacement in California
[31:28] (1888.32s)
okay yes and it's public and private uh
[31:32] (1892.32s)
institutions in California right so
[31:34] (1894.28s)
whether it's a private school or a
[31:35] (1895.52s)
public school they cannot do scholarship
[31:37] (1897.76s)
displacement if you are eligible for the
[31:40] (1900.28s)
pelg grant
[31:43] (1903.36s)
okay uh we have another question here
[31:45] (1905.44s)
and it says as College prices are uh go
[31:47] (1907.32s)
up are colleges being more frugal with
[31:48] (1908.88s)
the money they give out not necessarily
[31:51] (1911.32s)
but I will say this with all the things
[31:53] (1913.44s)
that are going on in the world right now
[31:55] (1915.00s)
the US Department of Education being a a
[31:58] (1918.36s)
agency that gives a lot of money to
[32:01] (1921.08s)
colleges for like research and this and
[32:03] (1923.60s)
that a lot of colleges are being cheap
[32:06] (1926.28s)
and Frugal right now not because well
[32:09] (1929.24s)
their prices are going up right but
[32:11] (1931.44s)
because they're not sure what kind of
[32:13] (1933.24s)
funding is going to be coming in in the
[32:14] (1934.76s)
next two three four years right so
[32:17] (1937.84s)
because the colleges aren't sure where
[32:19] (1939.44s)
they're going to have to open their
[32:20] (1940.44s)
wallets unfortunately this year what
[32:22] (1942.68s)
I've seen is that colleges are giving
[32:25] (1945.04s)
less money than previous years right now
[32:28] (1948.44s)
for students that are already in college
[32:30] (1950.84s)
well that doesn't really matter because
[32:32] (1952.28s)
your Baseline has been set you you will
[32:34] (1954.32s)
continue to get that money there's not
[32:36] (1956.20s)
there's not very many situations where
[32:38] (1958.08s)
colleges will say we gave you $50,000
[32:40] (1960.16s)
last year everything else for you guys
[32:41] (1961.80s)
is the same as far as your your your
[32:43] (1963.72s)
kind of income and this and that but
[32:45] (1965.08s)
we're going to drop at $10,000 it just
[32:46] (1966.92s)
doesn't happen right so unfortunately
[32:50] (1970.12s)
for the students that are kind of
[32:51] (1971.12s)
graduating in 20125 it is something that
[32:53] (1973.16s)
we're going to have to deal with as far
[32:54] (1974.28s)
as colleges being a little bit less
[32:55] (1975.68s)
friendly with giving out that money okay
[32:59] (1979.04s)
but we have to deal with the situation
[33:01] (1981.24s)
that we're given
[33:04] (1984.56s)
okay so we have another question it says
[33:07] (1987.04s)
for outside scholarships how do you
[33:08] (1988.08s)
explain to a nonprofit to send the check
[33:09] (1989.52s)
to you instead of sending it directly to
[33:11] (1991.60s)
to colleges that's not something that
[33:13] (1993.36s)
you can usually request right uh the
[33:16] (1996.88s)
reason why like these like nonprofits or
[33:19] (1999.76s)
these organizations are sending checks
[33:22] (2002.40s)
directly to the colleges is because they
[33:24] (2004.60s)
want a tax write off at the end of the
[33:26] (2006.28s)
year for charitable giving
[33:28] (2008.40s)
right um so I mean if you know someone
[33:31] (2011.04s)
in that organization then yeah you might
[33:32] (2012.64s)
ask them for a check directly to you or
[33:35] (2015.40s)
um you know like to to the student right
[33:38] (2018.60s)
but if their policy is that they send it
[33:40] (2020.64s)
directly to the school and that's the
[33:41] (2021.80s)
only way that you'll ever get this money
[33:43] (2023.76s)
well then you have to make a kind of
[33:44] (2024.96s)
decision on how you're going to do
[33:49] (2029.80s)
okay good questions very pointed
[33:52] (2032.36s)
questions right um again that's why
[33:55] (2035.12s)
we're here to help you guys answer
[33:56] (2036.64s)
questions okay uh I'm going to put the
[33:58] (2038.72s)
link to the consultation in here one
[34:00] (2040.56s)
more time again uh once we close down
[34:02] (2042.96s)
Zoom this will disappear so make sure
[34:04] (2044.88s)
that you take a screenshot of this page
[34:06] (2046.60s)
or save the link somewhere so that you
[34:08] (2048.16s)
can sign up with us so that we can talk
[34:10] (2050.04s)
about your situation now there's
[34:11] (2051.96s)
probably a lot of I I saw a lot of
[34:13] (2053.88s)
people coming later as well there's
[34:15] (2055.32s)
probably people that have eth n 10th
[34:16] (2056.96s)
graders as well right and you might be
[34:18] (2058.80s)
thinking oh yeah this is great I will
[34:20] (2060.44s)
remember when my student is a rising
[34:22] (2062.36s)
senior right well there's two reasons
[34:24] (2064.68s)
why you should sign up for your
[34:25] (2065.64s)
consultation now one you might need to
[34:28] (2068.00s)
be doing things in the relevant tax year
[34:30] (2070.64s)
in order to help your situation right
[34:33] (2073.28s)
the second thing is that well I have
[34:35] (2075.80s)
students that are as young as fourth
[34:37] (2077.80s)
grade right the reason why a lot of our
[34:40] (2080.84s)
families sign up early is because well
[34:43] (2083.28s)
it's the cheapest now right our prices
[34:45] (2085.56s)
are never going to go lower right um so
[34:48] (2088.44s)
you can lock in your student at any time
[34:51] (2091.12s)
right if they're an eighth grade you can
[34:52] (2092.24s)
lock them in now the price you pay is
[34:53] (2093.88s)
the price you pay today right in the
[34:56] (2096.28s)
future in a year in two years and three
[34:58] (2098.36s)
years I don't know what our prices are
[34:59] (2099.80s)
going to be right everything's going up
[35:02] (2102.04s)
right I went to Costco right the eggs
[35:04] (2104.52s)
went up by like 45% over the course of a
[35:07] (2107.40s)
week right I bought them for $14 for the
[35:10] (2110.48s)
for the six or the five dozen right a
[35:13] (2113.08s)
week before the week later they were
[35:18] (2118.04s)
right or maybe not a week maybe two
[35:20] (2120.32s)
weeks I don't eat that many eggs right
[35:22] (2122.32s)
um but again everything's going up so I
[35:25] (2125.68s)
I cannot guarantee what the price are
[35:27] (2127.92s)
going to look in 6 months a year two
[35:30] (2130.32s)
years 3 years right so it will be the
[35:32] (2132.32s)
cheapest now okay so again make sure to
[35:35] (2135.76s)
take a screenshot here make sure that we
[35:38] (2138.72s)
you know you you copy that link right
[35:42] (2142.16s)
yeah uh like this person said in the
[35:43] (2143.96s)
chat we need a scholarship for eggs
[35:45] (2145.60s)
these days yeah I know right um and it's
[35:47] (2147.96s)

[35:49] (2149.16s)
a I I literally went to Costco seven
[35:52] (2152.48s)
times right over the course of 10 days
[35:55] (2155.08s)
to try to find eggs right I went no eggs
[35:59] (2159.08s)
right I went the next day no eggs right
[36:01] (2161.92s)

[36:03] (2163.96s)
