At home you don't travel so much as on exchange for example. You take the most out of everything and therefore you spend a little more.

At first it was quite difficult to find a satisfying meal at a moderate price. I also ran into some financial problems when trying to communicate with my family in the U.S. The nightlife seemed to be a bit cheaper and it was relatively cheap to travel around Spain.

The key to saving money is to bring a reasonable amount of cash out with you at night and leave your credit card at home!

the opportunities to see or to try new things are much greater so it is obvious that you're going to spend more

no, everything is cheaper than in the nothern europe so you tend to spend more in order to get much more. Japanese restaurants for example are much more accesible than in Belgium. the quality of life can be very high for a relativly low increase of your expenses
