Your DSLR came with a RAW converter. It is the software that was bundled with your camera. If you can't afford Lightroom (understandable), then use the bundled software to edit/view your RAW photos.
I shoot RAW all the time. Saved my butt several times. Had a shoot of a bike race on ice, and about half of the shots were way over exposed. Had I shot jpeg, they would have been lost. In RAW, I was able to recover them.
