Ep. 111 - The Financial Habits That Support Academic Careers (with Dr. Emily Roberts)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Many academics postpone thinking seriously about money until they have a "real job." But the habits and systems you build long before that point can have a significant impact on the choices available to you later.
In this episode, I talk with Dr. Emily Roberts, founder of Personal Finance for PhDs, about the financial challenges that graduate students and postdocs often face. We discuss scarcity mindset in academia, the relationship between money and personal values, and why financial literacy is about much more than budgeting. Emily also shares practical strategies for building financial awareness, preparing for career transitions, and creating structures that support long-term goals.
This conversation is especially useful if you're trying to make career decisions while navigating the uncertainty of academia today.
