Optimal start date

Post by mrmoney »

Hello,

I was wondering whether anyone knows what the "cutoff" is for getting your last month of stipend income. I can pick a start date at any point in the next month or so, and I'm wondering what the best date to pick would be.

I was originally thinking it would be best to pick roughly the middle of the month, the week after they direct deposit the monthly stipend (so mid June for me). If they do it by month though, then it would be more optimal to hold out till July 1st (I'm at my parents right now, so $2700 for two weeks of relaxing and not paying rent is pretty tempting).

Not sure where they draw the line. Anyone have any ideas or more info?

Honestly bro, you're going to get way more money from being full time than your stipend. I'd just start as soon as you can. It's not like you can do very much now with the Rona going on anyways.
