The Frugal Law Student
The Frugal Law Student is for anyone trying to mitigate their crippling debt from student loans. The author of this, Brett McKay, is a second year law student at the University of Tulsa College of Law. The Frugal Law Student is his attempt to explain personal finance from the perspective of a twenty-something law student. McKay’s intent is to post a few articles each week on frugality and personal finance. In addition, he writes articles on how how to succeed in law school, how to be more productive in our lives, and how to excel in our careers.
