Hahaha! Yes. She got me a 2009 WDC-winning Brawn GP scale model (Jensen Buttons) for my birthday and Alonso's 2005 & 2006 Renault as a surprise gift when we met after a couple of months :D

Euros.

That was the whole point of publishing this data. Wanted to check where we are overspending/ understanding.

The simplest way is a google sheet. I have created a dashboard where we update our expenses daily. We have a joint (3rd bank account) where we club our savings.

Yes! It's almost 400 now because of Inflation. Her room is approx 25m2.

Public transport was free for her because of the 9-euro ticket. We have covered the entire bavarian region under 9 euros xD

Haha! It's mostly the fear of not having a backup when something goes wrong, I guess. We would do the same when we were in India, lavishly overspending, knowing we have our parents financially bailing us out whenever needed.

We are vegetarians. Her Diet is mostly Indian food and vegetables. We sometimes eat a sort of unique grain called millet (cereal crops), a healthier rice substitute and relatively cheaper.

Interestingly, she used to cover my student debt repayment when my expenses overshoot. We lived together for most of the year - so the costs were split. I recently moved to France for work.

Hahah! No. She is proud of whatever I m doing,.

She's a working student. Our visa arrangements allow us to work for 20hrs/ week. Given inflation and rising heating costs - I am proud of whatever she is saving.

Student dorms.

Her uni schedule is pretty jam-packed. She goes to restaurants, which are accounted as food. In terms of going out - most of her travel was relatively free (9 Euro ticket)

Hahah! We have student debts to repay. So we make sure to track every single penny we spend. 8.26 what she lost are the coins she forgets to pick up from the laundry machines that someone flicks up later.

We maintain a personal and a joint budget.

We sold some of our old furniture on eBay. Occasionally, her parents send her some money as festival gifts.

Hahah! No. Sometimes I buy her flowers & food when I get to work extra. Both of us are students and get to work for 20hrs/week.

1 room student dorm.

Nope! All the spendings are in Euros.

Student job. Visa restrictions allows her to work for 20hr/ week.

She's a student, works for 20 hours/ week.

she's in Germany.

Nope! She's pursuing her master's and is mostly in the university for most of her time. She lives in a student dorm, so her rent is considerably cheaper.

She lives and studies in Germany. I live in France. Her costs are primarily her flight tickets.
