How This Entering PhD Student Has Set Himself Up for Financial Success in Graduate School
In this episode, Emily interviews George Walters-Marrah, a rising first-year PhD student in biophysics at Stanford. In the last year, as George has been applying to and preparing to attend graduate school, he's been on a financial journey as well. We walk chronologically through the financial steps he's taken this year, from applying for fellowships last fall to taking a personal finance course this past spring to drafting a budget this summer for how he plans to use his stipend in Palo Alto. Additionally, Emily and George have an insightful conversation on what George learned about investing in his personal finance course and how he's already implementing some of the strategies.
