i sincerely doubt you could afford to live on barely part time work 10 years ago, which would be 2015, unless you were massively subsidized by unemployment, an angel investor, or you were a squatter

Neither nor.
I paid €350 for my flat and made €25/h doing tutoring. I had a monthly budget of €800 in 2015 and that was enough.
I never received unemployment benefits and why on earth would someone invest in a random student?

I think you just got extremely lucky, and it’s not exactly transferrable to most others especially today.

I don’t think that surviving on €800/month is extremely lucky. I know quite a few other people who also did that. I also know quite a few other people who just stayed with their parents during university so they didn’t have to work at all.

When I compare to my own experience ajusted to inflation, that seems alright. Totally doable.
