Money-Saving Tips:
1. Always cook at home — eating out in Europe is 5-10x more expensive than cooking
2. Share accommodation with other workers — this cuts rent by 40-60%
3. Use public transport — never buy a car in your first year
4. Shop at discount supermarkets (Aldi, Lidl, Biedronka, Penny)
5. Send money home through services with the best exchange rates — compare on euro.khansland.com.bd/remittance
6. Buy a local SIM card, not an international one
7. Many cities have free or cheap gym access through worker organizations
