<prompt> Human: Im not too sure how to start so ill just do it, ive lived all my life in Venezuela, im a 29 years old IT guy moving in 3 days to Spain because of the increased danger of staying here... I only have 3k USD to my name that i saved after working for 9 years and i have no idea what good habbits or stuff i should be aware since this is my first time living alone and money in my house was only enough to pay for bills and eat with restrictions. Does anyone here has been on a similar situation? Do you guys have any advice? im kinda scared since ill be alone and i have no training on how to budget or stuff like that. Thanks in advance to anyone who read this. Edit: I shouldve said i have Spanish citizenship since both my parents Spaniards. Sorry im not sleeping well and posted this late in the night. You guys are amazing, thanks so much for all the help.  <response>: You should be able to get into a piso compartido easy enough with that kind of budget. Youll have to hit the ground fast looking for work. How are you moving to Spain? Do you have Spanish citizenship? If so, the first thing you need to do is get your DNI.There is lots of IT work and you may need to get a job thats underpaid in order to start working fast, but underpaid for you is likely to be 25k per year or so.Where exactly in Spain are you going? IT work is mostly concentrated between Madrid and Barcelona with Basque Country and Asturias with sizable operations.Also, what exactly do you do in IT?Lamento mucho todo que ha pasado en tu tierra. Hay muchos venezolanos aquí en Madrid así que hay una comunidad que te entiende.Edit: Also, if you make it to Madrid, Ill be happy to take you out for a beer.
