7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?

As I have relocated and paying rent and also I drive I have much higher costs than some of my colleagues. My salary does cover my costs but only just with not too much left over to save. However each year on the degree there is a considerable salary increase so I will be much more comfortable in year 2 and 3.
