oh, my budget, buy a lot this time

I just checked the bill and it seemed that I did spend a lot of money last month. Well, I thought that I overspent last month.

 

I reviewed the bill and found that I spent too much on some categories. Hence, I decided to reset my budget plan. Indeed, I have to avoid doing this again.

 

While traveling, budget is certainly something worth thinking about. For most people, you can’t spend crazily. Before taking a trip, you will book flight tickets and there’s a budget for tickets. You might book accommodation and there’s a budget. And you might calculate other costs to estimate how much you will spend for the entire trip.

 

However, the most important thing is your goal for the trip. What do you want to see this time? Where do you plan to go this time?

 

On my first trip to Europe, I only knew that I didn’t have much money. So, I have to avoid spending too much. I ate a lot in the hostel. In the afternoon, I basically had bread and water. In the evening, depending on where I was, I normally went to a supermarket to buy milk or some snacks. Back then, I didn’t have a “budget”. I just knew that I can’t spend much.

 

It was a unique experience for me. I tried to travel on a super tight budget and I managed it. It was fun and I understand that it’s a way of traveling. It’s possible to visit many countries without spending a lot of money. Well, I might not travel like that again. Nonetheless, sometimes, when I think about those days, it was a great learning experience. I’m carefully checking the budget for the next trip. Hopefully, I can execute the plan well and won’t spend crazy on something unnecessary.
