Have your parents ever “helped” with your finances (e.g., paid your rent, sent you an allowance, covered certain bills)?

I’m really lucky that parents put about a thousand dollars in a savings account for me when I was a baby. I’ve been adding and taking from that fund for my entire adult life to pay my bills. I’m on a family phone plan and my mum will send me some money if I need it for meds...

Honestly, not really. But started working at 13 and didn’t spend much after my I bought my laptop, so I was able to put a lot of money into the account before I had any expenses. I’m very thankful to younger Claire for being so frugal because it means adult Claire can eat

Yeahhhh, one of my profs (an adjunct working his first job after finishing an 8 year PhD) very flatly advised me not to go into debt for grad school because it would not be worth it. I’m really hoping that my present trajectory of generous funding will continue

lol when my program was last evaluated by the US News ppl they were like “we would’ve given you a higher score but your stipends are criminal”

I mean, I guess that says it all right there. There are few PhD programs I’m considering applying to in the US, but I’m wary simply because the Canadian schools are so highly subsidized that even with a lean funding package, I’m not likely to take on debt

Philosophy! That same prof I mention above said that the big American philosophy programs tend to fund pretty well, but the problem is actually getting into one because they’re competitive :|
