Needing to pay a $2,000 tuition bill at the University of Utah, student Luq Mughal decided to make a statement about the rise in tuition costs. His solution? Channel his inner Scarface and bring a small metal suitcase filled with two thousand $1 bills to the school's billing department.
“When you spend cash, you feel every dollar that you hand over to someone else,” Mughal told the Daily Utah Chronicle. “You feel that you’re losing that. If you just swipe your card, it could be 10,000 or 100,000 bucks and you don’t really feel it. When you actually slide over a huge pile of cash, you really feel like you’ve spent that. That’s your money, and you also want to make that worthwhile by doing well in school.”
Added Mughal abut the experience with the school cashier, "She didn't even count it."
No funny money?! Tony Montana is rolling over in his grave.
