Sure, I've even worked ~3 months a year before, but that was very cheap, and no occasional electronics or whatever to keep myself motivated (oscilloscope etc)

Sure, I've even worked ~3 months a year before, but that was very cheap, and no occasional electronics or whatever to keep myself motivated (oscilloscope etc) I keep my food and fun expenses very low, and rent a flat with a friend, so its half as much as renting a flat on my own. Still rent and associated living expenses is about 2/3 of my expenses.
