Podcast Episode 149: Saving Money in Law School

June 5, 2018 By Law School Toolbox Team Leave a Comment

Law School Toolbox Podcast

Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today we’re talking about getting your finances in order for (and during) law school, because this can be a very challenging aspect of the law school experience.

And thanks to Warby Parker, maker of extremely reasonably priced and convenient prescription glasses, for sponsoring this episode!

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Why is money stuff so challenging in law school?
  • Some tips on how to make smart financial decisions while in law school – from smaller things like taking advantage of free or discounted services at your school to big things like being a part-time student
  • Ways to save money on the necessities of life
  • Why it’s important to create a budget and resources that make it easier to make a realistic budget and stick to it
  • Some real talk on the realities of student loan repayment (HINT: this is NOT free money)

Thanks for listening!
