Expenses
Main source of funding:
A private grant
Other sources of funding:
Family<br>
An ERASMUS grant
Work opportunities:
It was not legal for me to work
Personal spending habits
At first I didn't have a kitchen, so I was forced to eat out, which is expensive. I spend less on nightlife, as I spent lots of time in the mountains, which only costs the price of the train or petrol contributions in the car.
