| Here you will find details of what I thought I would spend while away and what I spent in reality. How I got money to fund my travels can be found in Helens_Gap_Year |
| My initial costs |
| What I thought I might spend my money on and the total I expected. |
| What I really spent- weekly and monthly breakdown and total. As you can see my prediction and budget was totally out. |
| My total money spent including credit card, cash and intial costs was a wopping... |

| A good month, though the medical bills were a bit of an annoyance. |
| A very good month, everything under budget, except for the big credit card expenditure. (something which was to become a habit!) |
| A good month, under budget depite the trip to Melaka. I was feeling good here thinking this budgeting thing is easy.. |
| Owch, this was an expensive week. And unfortunatly the veiw of things to come... |
| Still over budget and the credit card had loads on it too. It was around this time that I sort of said "f**k the budget" |
| Im not doing to well on budgeting right here, despite running out of cash. Which is why the credit card gets a bashing here. |
| A good month, nicely below budget, though Im still using the credit card- not a good sign. |
| Last month, Im totally on budget.. except for the massive credit card bill! |
| So much for budgeting, but then I had the time of my life so it was worth every penny. |
 |
| A word of advice - credit cards are great but remember- the money you put on them does eventually have to be paid off..... |
