How to NOT Worry About Money as a PhD Student (& tips for saving)
Hello!
In this video, I discuss how you can pursue your PhD while still growing a decent net worth. I know graduate student salaries are notoriously low, but that doesn't mean you'll be broke and living paycheck-to-paycheck. All it takes is a little bit of planning :)
Let me know if you have tips for managing your budget while in graduate school! I'd love to hear how others do it!

I think the IRS would like to have a word with you hahaha. I feel like my best advice to grad students is to get the inside scoop on not only profs with research that aligns with your interests but also ones who have enough funding to hand out RAs like candy to their advisees. It can make life so much easier
It's extremely helpful and reassuring!
But what about fees and tuition? that's like 1/4 of my paycheck
Love your videos!
Do yo know anything about the sciences and if people take summer internships in the sciences(ex geology) ?
Thanks for this video Jan! Could you please make one similar for a master's student? :)

Yes! Thanks Dan!
you are INCREDIBLE
Buh your video is based on getting $30k on summer internship Many graduate students have to work as RA and still make roughly $2000 monthly for the 3 months

Let’s say that you don’t do a summer internship, and you make $26K a year. Using all the same numbers I used in the video for expenses, you’d still net $8K. If you could invest $5K at the end of every year, with a starting investment amount of $1K, return rate of 10%, compounded annually, after 7 years you’d have about $50K invested. Also doable and quite a good amount to have when you graduate 🙂
Thank you
If u deduce tuition fees I’ll have about 16-17k to live with (Canada). With losing another 9600,2400 and 6000 I’m left with -1680 per year. I have to do research on summer semesters too. No time for internship. Health care if shitty for international students, so if something happens to me I fall to -10k per year.
Lol you don't consider taxes?
