Is it possible to save like 10,000 euros every year while doing my MSc in Germany?

I really wanna save lots of money, so that even before the end of my MSc in Germany, I don get plenty money for account. I plan to overwork myself during summer holidays and save lots of money.
Education ain't my main reason of planning to go to Germany, making money is my number one reason I wanna leave this shitthole. I wanna visit home after my studies smelling money money before going back to keep hustling for more

With this idea, the west might not be the best for you...

The west in general including Germany isn’t a place you acquire questionable amount of money within the shortest possible time...

The system is designed in such a way that majority of the money earned in Germany gets spent in Germany...

€10,000/year is quite a high number, €5,000/year is doable....

I have saved $8,000/ year before by working minimum wage jobs but I had to inconvenience myself to save up such amount i.e. Getting a roommate, Stop Dinning out, Reduce my Clubbing Habits, learn how to shop cheap e.t.c.

It was difficult but I was able to accomplish it since I wasn’t in School So didn’t have to bother about Academics...

Also ended up doing a lot of Overtime Hours since that’s where the real money is...

I don’t live in Germany. I live in the United States...

But my response is regarding abroad in General...

Be it Germany, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada or the United States, the bulk of the money you make in these countries will also be spent in these countries...

That’s simply the way the system is designed abroad...

Very unlikely...

Unlike Nigeria, the west is structured differently.

When you factor in Taxes, Rent, Feeding & other Miscellaneous expenses, you will only be left with a Meagre sum every month...

Your focused should be on graduating College & getting a Good Job, then saving €10,000/year wouldn’t be a big hurdle...

You don’t want to flunk out of school simply because you eyes are set on making money...


I have an above average IQ and can work my ass off and still graduate well. When I was in school, I once left school to go and hustle and still came back 2 weeks before exam and cleared all the papers.
I have never failed any exam since I was born. Even with my hustling spirit in school and social and political lifestyles and even writing exams for money for juniors, I still graduated with over 4point GPA out of possible 5 so I seriously believe school aint gonna be an issue at all in Germany even if I work very well because I usually pass exams with ease.
My only worry is German language which I dont know at all but I will learn that too

I dont mind doing overtime hours. My priority is making lots of money while studying for free because my belief is that education without money is nonsence

Hi bro...

I admire your zest and enthusiasm for success (which by your standard translates to having loads of money), but you really should reduce your expectations so that you dont get disappointed when you go over there or meddle into questionable activities just to make more money.

Like some one said, the key is to make good grades upon graduation and also consider making good networks even while you are still here. You can also start learning the german language so that you will blend into the system quickly when you get over there.

I wish you what i would wish myself when i go over there

To be ambitious is to be greatly or inordinately desirous of power, honor, office, superiority, or other distinction.


This isn't ambition, this is sheer desperation clouded by loads of Nigeria mentality.

When you get to be bridge of lowering your expectations; You will cross it solemnly.

I thought by now, education in Germany would change your personality.

First, the post was a question meant to be answered.
From the above posts, you could see how people addressed the issue. Someone even used his lifetime experience on how he earned 8000 dollars in a year working in America. But here you are making noise without addressing the issue which shows that Germany has not actually changed your mentality and reaction over things.

Remember, some people study in Germany and even send money home while some Otondos without any hustling spirit in them just go there and lazy around earning peanuts and even disturbing those at home to send money to them
