I did that with Germany, I lived and worked there for 3 years. I know a lot of people always say ou Germany is amazing, you should move there.I mean if you are from EU and 20 years old it's not easy. I had to get private health insurance and they charged me 150€ monthly for it, since I didnt qualify for public health insurance. You had to register yourself in the City hall within 30 days of arrival or you have the threat of being sent out. Funny thing was if you didnt have health insurance up on arrival, they charged you for every month you didnt have until the day you went to sign up.They tried to charge me 300€ for it, but likely the worker waived the fees for me. I went to German course there too that was like 125€ a month, I did know some German prior and had studied it for 6 years in school. When I got my job there, it was its on mess of things, I used to go German course from 8am- 1.30 pm and then run to work and work from 2pm till 10pm ( leave work around 11pm after cleaning up and counting cash). When I lived In another city, I had to take the train and normally be home by midnight, and do my German homework on the train and my lunch break. I did move closer to the city I worked at, I lived in shared flat for a year and then on my very first apartment alone. My rental apartment was only 20 sqft open kitchen one, no washer or dryer hook up (they were communal in the basement). My security deposit was 500€ euros and rent 500€( but my salary was 980€ a month🤣 I donate plasma in between to make it). Luckily before I moved I graduated my German course so I didnt have that cost of 125€, and since I was quite top of my class, then the city paid for my next level. But with everything,but later after paying electricity, internet, rundfunkbeitrag( tax for owning electronic devices) I maybe had less than 200€ to live for next 30 daya. Good thing is that we sometimes got tips too that we shared every couple months and I was able to donate plasma. I mainly lived off noodles and brats since in the Russian store near me, the noodles were 1 € for 10 pk
