I didn't want/need to work Personal spending habits:
I spend a lot of money on telephone, because my boyfriend was at the same time doing an internship in Bangkok and calling to Thailand was very expensive. Nightlife was more expensive for two reasons. One is that the drinks and entrances in Spain are higher than in my home country. The second reason is that I went out a lot more in Barcelona than I normally do in Holland. I spend more on travelling because I wanted to see some cities outside Barcelona and didn´t have a public transport card like I have in Holland. Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone: was more expensive than at home. Food, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Sorry, I cannot think of any. I can only tell that going out for dinner is in Barcelona really cheap and allmost as expensive as eating at home. So it´s recommendable to go out for your dinner. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

I chose to travel l lot when I stayed in BCN, so a consequence of this was that my expenses relates to travel increased. I also used my mobil more than back home, which gave a further blow to my budget. And when in BCN, do as the locals and go out... so my expenses related to this increased as well. Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone: was more expensive than at home. Food, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
If you're in BCN for a short time, stay with a family. That reduces you costs a lot, because you don't need to invest in linen and kitchenware etc. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal comments:
Large Clubs are fairly expensive, around 15 euros and so are drinks. One can find small (i quote felipe) good clubs that are free. Drinks are great, one is shocked at first: 7,5 Euros. But its almost all alcohol, so 3-4 will get u nicely going. Buy three month metro ticket, but dont loose it. Be very carefull with ur money, loooooadds of pick pocketers and muggers.

I spent a little more on most things because the exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar and the Euro is so bad. I was paying 1.3 as much for everything. Traveling was cheap compared to flights in the states and food, even with the exchange rate, was very reasonable. You get a lot of food for your money in Spain, whether it is at a fancy restaurant, a cafe, or the grocery store. Drinks at clubs are extremely overpriced (5 euros for a beer, and 6-10 euros for a mixed drink). Nightlife, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home.

Personal comments:
If you are truly concerned about saving money, keep track of what you spend your money on every day. If you take 10-20 minutes out of your day figuring out what you spent money on, it will help you budget yourself. I kept track of all my expenses in excel and I was able to see my average daily and weekly spending was and it helped me to know exactly how much I could spend.
