Episode 1
Monday, 15 June, 2026
In this episode, Emily explores how to save money as a funded graduate student so that you aren't in a constant state of financial stress. The first step is to open a savings account and establish a regular savings rate, even if it's only $5 per month. Second, you must either increase your income or decrease your expenses. Both may seem impossible in your current circumstances, but Emily introduces numerous accessible options that grad students have used in the past for each approach, including the unique opportunities available to you as a graduate student.
