14. How I save money and manage my low income

MONEY! We all love it, but some of us don't love talking about it. Erin does not happen to be one of those people. Tune in to today's episode which will serve as the first in what we are sure will be many money chats. This is your chance to be nosy and find out what a PhD student's financial situation is like,  but also how money can impact your mental health and ability to participate in life. Erin shares her top 6 tips (not financial advice) on how to manage on a low income. This is a great episode to listen to if you have a low income, are intending on having a low income (maternity leave, anyone?), or if you are saving for a big goal. And hey, even if you are rolling in the moolah - this is a great episode to gain some perspective and learn how to support people with a less flashy bank account than yourself.  To reiterate - this may come as a surprise but we are not qualified to give financial advice, so please don't take this episode as such.
