      I got some fun comments last year and I was wondering if last year was unique in some way, but my spending is pretty close to the same this year. I couldn’t invest in my 403(b) due to my appointment, so the extra money just went into savings.

      I suppose it’s depressing, but the thought of putting by 17k a year whilst being in full time education made me guffaw.

    3. You’re able to save close to 20k a year on a PhD stipend!? Holy shit good for you!!!
