    Neither nor.

    I paid €350 for my flat and made €25/h doing maths tutoring. I had a monthly budget of €800 in 2015 and that was enough.

    I never received unemployment benefits and why on earth would someone invest in a random student?

      When I compare to my own experience ajusted to inflation, that seems alright. Totally doable.

        I don’t think that surviving on €800/month is extremely lucky. I know quite a few other people who also did that. I also know quite a few other people who just stayed with their parents during university so they didn’t have to work at all.
