So I was just given $878 by the state. I love AK.

Usually when you get free money from the state is because you can't challenge yourself.

 

VEGAS, BABY!!!!!!! But dont take me with you. Or DO take me with you. hmmm... im either lucky or unlucky. Im still not getting a check for a few years. Always paying for my past it seems. SIGH

 

Oh, and Ben. Laugh Out Loud at you starting this topic in a NON Alaska thread. haha. Rubbing it in Lower 48ers faces. hahaha.

 

Looks like I'm moving to Alaska

 

Hahaha I did sort of just want to rub it in. The best one we got was a few years ago. 3200 bones overnight. Epic.

 

Anthony you totally should. I know a guy who could use your skills, so you should come soon.

 

i remember reading this somewhere.... but i forgot, why do alaskans receive this again?

 

Not in this case, everyone gets it. They scrape the top of the oil and gas industry and cut us in since we do all the heavy lifting up here.

 

I just spent $2500 on a vaction to New York for me and the lady. Going in January. So i gotta save a bit before i come up, but um so down!

So what your saying is, our gas prices are through the freakin roof cuz they have to pay you guys first, which then comes right back out of our pockets to pay back :what:

 

I hope that second one is going into a college fund and not a Toyota money pit.

 

Hahaha we'll see. My folks surely didn't save me any of mine growing up. I'm thinking permanent life insurance policy for her. Not so much a blessing to her, but a big one to her kids and a way I can leave a financial legacy. Still thinking through it all though.

 

Found this to explain why we get it. Oh and that's the jacket I'm getting ^



The Alaska Permanent Fund is a legislatively-controlled appropriation established in 1976. Shortly after the oil from Alaska’s North Slope began flowing to market through the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, the Permanent Fund was created by an amendment to the constitution of the U.S. state of Alaska to be an investment for the proceeds from the sale of these minerals. The Alaska Permanent Fund was originally envisioned to set aside a share of temporary but phenomenal oil revenues from the unique Prudhoe Bay field to continue benefiting future generations of Alaskans after the original reserves had been depleted. Many citizens also believed that the legislature had spent the $900 million bonus the state had originally received after leasing out the oil fields both too quickly and with too little result. This spurred a desire to set a share of oil revenues out of direct control by politicians who were seen as likely to spend it on wasteful operations and unnecessary capital expenditures.

 

Good for you, I should of move to Alaska.

 

Epic gun laws and now this?? ...how's the job market in Alaska?

 

Don't forget no emissions tests. Smog doesn't dig the cold. I have a job, so I wouldn't know. BUt I think everyone I know has jobs too, so it can't be that bad.

 

hold a raffle on TW.......... winner gets $878.00

 

Can I sell tickets?

 

They pay you to live in Alaska? Shit I may just move there someday haha.

 

It's pretty wonderful I must say. Almost a square mile for every person here. And we get to say per capita. A lot.
