with my own sweat

Hello,

I'd like to know the meaning of the following sentence.

"I did it myself, with my own sweat and my own money."
(This person put himself through college while working full-time.)

The expression "with my own sweat" modifies "my own money"?
"my own money" means "my own money that I earned with my own sweat"?

Or "with my own sweat" means "(work and study) very hard"?

Thank you,
