"The Council of Graduate Schools produced a study on the PhD completion and attrition. The study looked at 49,000 students attending 30 institutions in 54 disciplines comprising 330 programs. Astonishingly, the completion rate ten years after students begin their doctoral program remains low at 56.6%."

even when accounting for external factors that could lower that number, it is pretty low.

but you say

"Many PhD students are dumb as rocks. After you get in it's very hard not to graduate."

your school is ranked higher in what? nonsense?

No one I’ve ever known does that, we all follow what the post office says to do, which is Brooklyn, New York.

Retail includes all purchases from stores. I bought a lot of gear this year because I finally have the time and money to do so. In august I bought a nice bike. I do not expect retail to be that high this year. I was making up for living very frugally previously.

I didn’t include income that went to taxes or savings because this chart is just a representation of my disposable income. I was under budget and the remaining 2k will just add a bump to my savings.

Not a bad idea, although most sites in California were built (purposefully) to never reach true “capacity”.

I’d recommend doing a trend line from Sep to Mar from 1980 - 2023, graying the middle 66% trend lines, and separate coloring lines for the top 16% and bottom 16% with year identifies
