I wouldn't agree with this logic, I mean you can eat steak every night and it'll cost you around 12-15e per meal, do a bit of cooking and make something cheap and cheerful like an omelette will cost you .26c if using 2 eggs slightly more if adding a slice of ham/cheese. That's the difference of 14.50 per day for your main meal. in a week that's a saving of 100e just on a single meal time. Trade in your 2 costa each day for a homemade java and you're talking about 70e again, so yeah if you are buying poorly each week you will be down 170e over someone who watches what they eat.

No, I mean... if you have to save that small amount of money (and plan stuff on this level) to buy a house/apartment, you're already screwed. This is not living... lol.

I see you're 24 so I'm going to guess you are in rental accommodation still? or have you purchased your own home by that age? Just even with my current work if I could spend no money it would take me at least 3 years to be able to pay up front for a home myself (which is how I aim to buy property) during that time every bit extra which is spent means it takes longer to get to the goal.

Just if you don't mind me wondering how your rent / accommodation is paid for atm to think that you don't consider a saving of a few hundred euros per week to be "not living"
