COGS and Graduate Student Life & Wellness have teamed up to bring you this immensely practical and free workshop. Dr. Emily Roberts, personal finance educator specializing in early-career PhDs, will show you how to “hack” your budget by decreasing spending in key necessary areas and implementing tricks to make your budget more effective. Attendees are asked to submit their spending data on housing, utilities, transportation, and food in advance through a survey, which will be emailed with the registration confirmation. The first part of the workshop is a presentation and discussion on this crowdsourced data, during which attendees share with one another their strategies and insights. The second part of the workshop is a short presentation of effective budgeting strategies to speed progress toward financial goals.
