Five important financial moves for PhD students Students and a financial planner give their advice on budgeting, saving and investing during doctoral studies.

I was making much less as a PhD student & budgeting helped me pay rent, eat, pay my student loans, save, and still go out with friends. I appreciate my parents teaching me the value of a dollar during elementary school.
