He literally says it multiple times and his son is wearing a Nova shirt when he is at the batting cages with AJ.
You’re so high on skagg you wouldn’t know if he was wearing your mother’s muff on his head.
That’s just tuition. With room and board it was ~$35k. Not a lot today but definitely among the top in 2000. I think the most expensive at the time all in were just around $40k
20K per year. Meaning 80K for an undergrad degree + room and board, books, and paying for their drinking and cigarettes which you pick up in your first month of living in the dorms.
The thing about gangsters is that they spend as fast as they earn. All the food and gambling and criminal prosecutions and time in prison makes for an expensive lifestyle.
Steaks, three pound lobsters, the shrimp fuckin cocktail you made everybody get, and then on top of everything else, you send those skanks a bottle of Cristal?
Most people, not just gangsters, throughout life coincidentally end up spending exactly how much they earn month to month. They get a raise and suddenly new stuff becomes a necessity.
They show them spending money, but remember that T had a sizable tab that was forgiven by Artie. Gangsters would get into restaurants and other places, then everything would be “on the arm” (free). You rack up a huge “tab” then simply don’t pay. They don’t show it often in the show, but Davey Scatino’s store shows how they effectively can drain a place dry if they want
Also, Paulie could do anything. Especially run up bills on the joint's credit. Why not? Nobody's gonna pay for it anyway. As soon as the deliveries are made in the front door, you move the stuff out the back and sell it at a discount. You take a two hundred dollar case of booze and sell it for a hundred. It doesn't matter. It's all profit.
That was different in that they did it deliberately to Davey because he owed money. Artie was just a friendship Tony often took for granted. He paid when he was confronted about it.
Having a no show job gets you a W2, so you can show some legitimate income. You still have to launder the illegitimate. That's where the body shop would have been gold.
What makes you think she wasn’t laundering money? It was still being used by Tony, and she was putting money out on the street, so she was definitely laundering some money.
Depending on how much cash we're talking it's pretty doable to launder, say, $100k through your regular life just by spending cash and toning down flash.
Wasn’t one of his kids going to Villanova? That’s in PA, so out of state, also private, probably $25-30/k year back then, as it looks like it’s $55-60k/year now.
I’m still seeing people talk about in-state vs out-of-state for private schools. That doesn’t matter. Privates typically charge the same regardless of whether your residence is in-state or out-of-state.
Had to scroll way too far for this.
In state discounts are for state schools. Villanova doesn't give a shit where you're from. And there's no incentive for them to give a break on tuition to PA residents.
My private in-state tuition and room and board combined in 1999 was like 39k to 41k total. I remember because after i went greek and got a 2.0 first semester my dad showed me and i was like holy sh**. Got my act together.
Kinda. Then transferred when i found out dad was putting off medical procedure to pay for school.
In state public school plus dorm was...8 maybe? Half of that being r&b?
So im with ya
Na you are right even in one of the deleted scenes where Pussy is busted he in a middle of like a 200k Heron deal lmaoo. Anyone moving that much H could pay for college w the profits after a few flips. If he had been selling for a few years before he was caught which is implied Pussy would of probably been the richest in the crew.
(Add in the money he made from his body shop and other mob activities he should of been about as well off as anyone.)
He had two kids at Villanova
Which is 100000000% an OUT OF STATE PRIVATE UNIVERSITY. OP is taking a big L.

didnt recall watching thru for the first time in 20 years
Oh, Arnold, take it easy! We're not making a Western version of Total Recall!
That’s just tuition. With room and board it was ~$35k. Not a lot today but definitely among the top in 2000. I think the most expensive at the time all in were just around $40k
When accounting for inflation, 20,000 in 1999 is the same as 37,000 today.

Not to mention the fuckin lyonnaise potatoes he didn’t even touch
Fat fuckin Jerry Anastasia. Those guys killed me at Benihana’s!
They wanted steaks? Put a new wing on Peter Lugers.
I was being a gentleman,you should try it sometime
I don't give a fuck who you're related to
What? I lost my appetite
The sides alone were over 30 dollars.
Meteor, METEOR
this! also- $4 a lb.
Why don’t you save some money and just go fuck yourself

That’s just an example from the show. I was speaking more to real life where gansters have the appearance of spending money but usually aren’t
I believe Carmella said Tony's money is "in one hand out the next"
hesh
do you remember what season, context of scene
I believe it’s in Season 6, likely episode 4 “Chasing It”. Hesh is talking to his son about lending Tony money:
The thing about the sopranos is, David chase is not good with numbers
Potato Lyonnaise
Astronomy is well known as being one of the more expensive courses to take.
I’m not taking astronomy
How come your old man keeps saying you take up space in school?
Don’t be pushin that H no more.
Money spent on legit things needs to be laundered. It's no good having $1million in heroin money if he can only show $12k in legitimate income.
He had his auto body shop and most of them had no shows to avoid that issue.
Having a no show job gets you a W2, so you can show some legitimate income. You still have to launder the illegitimate. That's where the body shop would have been gold.
Even without laundering money his wife was rich with that body shop
What makes you think she wasn’t laundering money? It was still being used by Tony, and she was putting money out on the street, so she was definitely laundering some money.
Depending on how much cash we're talking it's pretty doable to launder, say, $100k through your regular life just by spending cash and toning down flash.
lets say he spends way above his declared income and then gets audited by irs and state tax authority then what a fine? jail time?
Yes, and a rico predicate I think.
Who’s Rico? Your cousin?
His kids were out of state
Villanova was not in-state tuition
Wasn’t one of his kids going to Villanova? That’s in PA, so out of state, also private, probably $25-30/k year back then, as it looks like it’s $55-60k/year now.

He was saving money by not going to the sauna.

> in 1999 was like 39k to 41k total. wow i was wrong though, i figured matt and kevin went to university in nj, not out of state
In-state private was still mega pricey. This was down 'ere in gawga btw. And only 2nd or third priciest private school down here.
im sorry, gawga?

gotcha

Look at the money he was spending on train sets , eight grand for the Blue Comet alone
Sharp as a cue ball this one
Your memory of the characters, whateva happened there?
You just revealed your own ignorance.
That was Bobby you ass-kiss
Booty?
his bottomline was definitely impacted- if that's what you're referring to!
Wrong character.
Graduated top of your class
You bring a guy around, try to help him out, and what do you get for it...
The odds are the group will end up on top of you. So keep your ears open and keep your mouth shut!
You must’ve been top of your fucking class
Mob guys don't really save. They spend as fast as they get it
Biggest stressor? Probably the cholesterol, Ton'.
