Saving Money by Not Spending

How I saved almost half my gross salary by living like a graduate student for a little over a year.

Kevin Corcoran’s post on toasters today was excellent. Early in the piece, he talked about how he managed to spend little money when furnishing an apartment. He didn’t say much about what his income was at the time, but I assume it was relatively low.

It reminded me of my situation in 1975, when I moved to Rochester, NY as an assistant professor in the University of Rochester’s Graduate School of Management.
