Setting up a student budget means first knowing your resources (scholarships, job, family help) and your fixed charges (rent, transport, food).
- Take advantage of student discounts (cinema, transport, museums).
- Prefer shared accommodation to reduce housing costs.
- Cook at home and limit snacks outside.
- Buy or resell your books second-hand.
Example: Gabriel saved €40 per month by sharing groceries and meals with his roommates.
