PaGW_home

It may not be obvious that graduate school can be a time to protect and grow your wealth, but it is. If you have excess cash flow, you can certainly consider building your wealth through debt repayment and growing your mid- or long-term savings. But even if you are living paycheck-to-paycheck, you should have certain protections in place like insurance and short-term saving.

Pay yourself first.

What are the different kinds of savings and what are they for?

Why should I save and invest?

Types of investments and basic principles.

How can I get started investing?

What should I do about my existing debt?

Can and should I buy a home?

What is net worth?
