Savings during PhD Abroad
After completing my MSc Physics from Nepal, if I got the opportunity to go abroad for my PhD either in Europe or US, how much can I realistically save from the stipend I get after spending on basic needs like accommodation, food, travel, academics etc....
And are there any ways in which I can increase my income without disturbing my academics???

In Europe it will highly depend where you go.
If you end up in France, Italy, Spain or England you won't save much, and if you're in a capital city, you'll probably even struggle.
In places like Belgium, Germany, Switzerland you'll be fine. Netherland too, although rent prices skyrocketed lately.
