There is not point in grieving over your debt; the sooner you erase it, the faster you can enjoy financial freedom.

That’s amazing…. I’ll be lucky just to not incur new debt. And I’ll have a bit saved. I don’t think that at this point in my life I can continue to skrimp on low-class housing and certain conveniences like cab fare anymore. I lived really frugally in my undergrad, and I guess I’m finding out certain limits. If I’m being paid to do independent research, I need to be in the proper environment for it – I couldn’t live with three roommates anymore, and I can’t take 2 hours just getting home on public transit anymore – my time is worth more than that. So I spend extra on cab fare.

I saved about $75000 or so the four years I spent in grad school. Admittedly, they were paying me about $25000 a year (I was in science). I think most of my fellow grad students burned their money on renting their own apartment (I stayed at an off campus “dorm”), but also on food and entertainment/conveniences. Only a few had cars.

Hi Kelly, thanks…. yes, the light at the end of the tunnel is always good to hear about!:) I also feel I’m sure I’ve learned my debt lesson and won’t be falling into that hole again once I’m finally paid a real salary!

Hi, as a recent graduate student I completely sympathize with the feeling that there’s no way to make a decent living on a scholarship. On the other hand, being a grad-student no more I can tell you that there’s light at the end of the tunnel, and your efforts will be compensated once you finish.
Thank you for the tips to tackle credit card debt, I’m sure they work for changing any other type of bad habit too, so I could definitely apply them to other areas of my life.
I’ve been browsing around and found your blog very interesting, I’ll definitely keep coming back for more.

What’s the point of paying off all those credit cards if you’re just going to end up racking them up again? If you have to do that, it’s a good sign that you haven’t budgeted properly and/or you’re not living within your means. Unexpected ex…
