Having any savings rate when living on a grad student stipend or postdoc salary is a huge financial accomplishment. You are eager to make the best use of that limited flow of money—but you might be stuck in analysis paralysis. Should you save up cash? Should you pay down debt (even student loans)? Should you invest—and is that possible during PhD training? During this workshop, you will apply an eight-step framework to your own individual finances to identify your next singular financial goal and learn how to pursue it.
