Clothing You don’t need monthly, buy in the sale, often you make the best bargains if you buy the seasons in the sale bargain.

Food, that’s where I’m looking for offers, then I’m going to guess the same thing with household cleaners. I buy health care in the cheapest pharmacy, care professionals for the face are available in good quality from Cerave..de, also nonkomedogen, small sizes to try.

It always helps me fill Kuverts with certain amounts of money for the current things and then keep me from saving something.

With 250 to 310 euros, you should go well. If you have a car, you’ll need gasoline money.

Good luck and good success.

Oriente yourself to the shopping cart of the regulations of social assistance, basic security, civil money.

195,36€ Food and beverages

46,71€ Clothing and Shoes

21,48€ Health care

34,28€ Current budget management

That’s the minimum.

Of course, with much less. And by sleeping at -10°C with open window, you also save plenty of heating costs.

For you unrealistic, for me completely normal and everyday for 15 years because since 2010 I have a budget of 100€ per person for all things of daily need (besides food, beverages, tools and detergents). And what remains at the end of the month is the difference between fixed costs variable costs and the salary is saved and then things are bought that you don’t constantly need new things like electrical appliances or clothes.

And the budget is still enough because I have just learned to deal with it. But I also probably buy completely different from you and cook completely different. With us there are no purchased drinks or extremely rare and practically only water outside SodaStream. Then we need a cartridge per month for 9€. But then I buy tea only once a month and then the one from the own brand of the shops for a maximum of 2€ per month. Means 11, drink costs when it comes up. The rest goes mainly for food because we do not have to buy hygiene products and detergents every week and every month. Here we come with a pack of shower gel or shampoo/spinning also good three months or longer. We also need to buy soap for hand washing extremely rarely because it also lasts practically forever. And I also buy detergents every half a year, with the exception of edgy cleaners and even that I only need a new one every two months and pay for it under a euro.

No, this should not be due to health problems but simply to the changing years 🤷🏼 then it is completely normal that one is in principle far too warm because you get heat waves point there can be one of the one minute cold and in the next you go one because you meet a heat wave again. This can also be confirmed by any doctor who knows a little about it

Sorry, but that sounds a bit constructed and unrealistic, at least for me. When I look at the price development in food and things of daily need.

This indicates health problems. If you are always too warm and that with tilted windows and -10°C. Heart, metabolism lungs, vessels. It’s not healthy.

If you like it, you can do it. My mother sleeps for years with tilted windows and has no heating in her bedroom 🤷🏼 but also absolutely not because her anyway is always too warm.

I have furniture or we. Let’s buy a lot about classifieds from ours. We had to renovate only once in the last 15 years and the renovation didn’t cost us 100€.

I buy Deo once in six months. Toilet paper once in 2 months. Washing agent even once every 5 months a large pack for less than 10€. With us two in spite of 3-4 machines wash the week completely out because I am getting less and less than standing on it. I’m really razing, my partner regularly. But even here we only need to buy new stuff for him every half year and for me maybe once a year (then are also a maximum of 10€).

I really don’t send any letters because now everything is running digitally via WhatsApp. Maximum the invitations for our wedding I will send by post, but this is the first time since 20 years that I will send a letter again.

Pictures really don’t hang on the wall here (my friend and I have other decoration on the walls). I rarely talk about the phone point if actually only with my parents, my partner if he is abroad as now, or with my two best friends. And household appliances also exist with me, but were bought from the saved and I don’t need every week, every month or every year new the last household appliances I bought are now well 1.5 years old. A TV is also available or two as well as various game consoles. However, as already said, all were bought from saved and not from household money (and are already several years old). Because we do not buy everything in the apartment every week, every month or every year new). We also do not need new clothes every week or every month. At most 1-2 times a year we will get two or three parts new that are really needed and there we are also at a maximum of 50€ (at least when my partner gets the stuff. If I get the stuff he gets at 20€).

For food, beverages, hygiene products and cleaning agents all in, I need between 80-100€ per person per month. And no we do not miss anything and food very varied, balanced and healthy

Oh yes and my partner and I live in a three-room newly built apartment with balcony which is quite comfortable 🤷🏼 the only thing that really is still missing here is a living room table because our old has not survived the move and a cabinet for the living kitchen which are both now picked up on Friday (and are just paid by the saved).

So you don’t need any furniture or renovation, you don’t have to, Deo and toilet paper you don’t seem to need, detergent for clothes is also not needed, shaving likewise not. You don’t seem to have to send letters. You don’t need to phone, you don’t seem to have pictures on the wall. Household appliances also do not seem to be present with you. Not even a TV or radio seem to be present

I want to see your apartment. This can be either a room in a refugee shelter or a prison cell.

For everything together, about 500 euros maximum per month.

As much as you want to spend and can. There is no lump sum. You can, of course, be guided by the rules for civic money, but in person I need far less than what is meant for it.

If I were living an empty room, I don’t need much money. But life does not consist of an empty room.
