Because of the higher living standard in Scandinavia, the rent and the food was more expensive than in Germany. And I spent more on telephone because of my family and friends living in Germany and other countries.

Copenhagen is an expensive city, but I'm from New York City so I really didn't notice much of a difference. I strongly recommend drinking at home first before going out because it is much cheaper to buy alcohol at the supermarket than in bars/cafes.

Copenhagen is expensive. I spent more on food because of that. I spent more on nightlife simply because I went out more than at home. Also housing was very expensives compared to home.
