Hi everyone,
I'm from Italy and I'm 19 years old. I'm studying mathematics in college ( I'm in the first of three years ). College tuitions are really low 600€ per year but can become 2000€ per year if I don't keep good grades ( but I'm doing it ).I live with my family very close to college so i don't have to commute, and I usually have lunch at home. My parents pay the college tuition for me and give me 50€ month. I currently put aside 2600€. The past summer I worked as a programmer and made 10€/hour after taxes. These are my questions:
1) College is really intense and I want to get good grades, should I work to make some side money o should I use my free time to relax and just do programming for personal fun?
2) should I try to keep that money that I saved or should I use that to travel and enjoy my age?
I'm currently happy, I have friends, go out, do a few travels. I don't want to seem to you like an asocial person obsessed with money saving :)
Thank you, Matteo
