I would budget $500 (which includes the gift) for your trip. If you don't spend it, then that's great!! Have a great time too :) I typically allocate $100 a day for my spending while on vacation :)
Goodness what a comment! Let the friend do what she wants to do. It's their relationship and their agreement. I'm sure she knows how to thank and be grateful to her freind
I would budget $500 for the trip. Then you could place any leftover money in a category when you come home. Enjoy your trip!! I love Virginia! I lived in VA 63 years of my life and just moved to Texas🙃 Take care🦋💗
An idea for you Lisa. What about rolling the dollars and cents (in this case the $4.76) for cushion in checking account. Make cushion a line item so you know each payday how much should be there for cushion. Over a year that would give you over $100 for a cushion and over years it would add up nicely for those small unexpected things.
I hate worrying about money on vacation. You want to enjoy your time off. But I hate buyer’s remorse after the vacation. I would allow at least $50 a day. Let’s do a check in .
I would give the vacation $600. + $50 for Airport spending to and from just in case. Then you have the rest for that night out and those gifts. Bottom line, have a plan, but also have faith in yourself. You can change your ways. Trust me. I hope you have a great weekend!
I set a per diem number based upon meals, gas, entertainment, gifts, etc. and then keep it on my phone. I post every expense as soon as I make it, and adjust throughout the trip. Since you don’t have gas or meals, you can probably cut back substantially on daily spending, but I’d include a healthy buffer just in case. The last time we spent time with the grandkids in Las Vegas, I dramatically underestimated things like restaurant meals (outrageously expensive), arcades and local activities, and coffee runs. We’re going back in August and I’ve doubled the budget hoping we can do better. Fingers crossed (who would guess a McDonald’s run for six people would be nearly $80?)!
Yes, please. Do save those receipts and let us know all the ups and downs and oopsies. Your experience will serve as a template , not only for your future trips, but for ours as well.
Sadly these days you could easily spend $800 for 10 days that’s only $80 per day if you’re eating out and doing activities… Are you taking some of your own food with you? Or going to buy groceries once you get there? Edited to mention airport stuff is always so expensive, I hate that! 😂
$440 is awfully low for 10 days. I think $75 a day is more in line. If that amount seems high to you, how about $60 per day? I’m sure you’ll out to eat with her and give her a break from all the cooking.
When I’m going to a place I haven’t experienced, I budget $100 a day, knowing I’m going to go to something that has entrance fees. I try to eat cheaply the first couple days, then plan something nice and specific to the area. When I’m going back home for a visit, I just plan on grocery money and if there is something that I have been missing.
It’s a good idea to have a budget, when we went to Mexico recently, I had a vacation budget, and came home with money. I try to eat cheaply when I’m there and have a nice maybe expensive dinner the last night there, to splurge.

Yeah I was thinking now a days $100 a day is beyond realistic.
Thank goodness I’m staying with a friend. She’ll feed me 😂
It would be nice if you helped out with groceries since she’ll be feeding you.

I probably need to do that.

I've always liked Clever Fox the best too. xoxo Wonderful video as always and very informative. xoxo

Staying with a friend! Very little eating out.
@@LisaMarieBudgets awesome! Then yes $500 would be reasonable, have a nice trip 👍🏻
I live in Virginia! Hope you have a wonderful time!

Is that including youtube? Great job
No it doesn’t.
why are you budgeting 100$ for groceries if you won’t be home and you have plenty on hand.
Groceries for my friends house.
Lisa, how long have you been contributing to your Roth IRA if you don’t mind me asking?
I’ve been fully funding it for maybe 3 years.
I love your nails!
Kiss glue on nails! $5 at Walmart.
😮😮😮😮😮@@LisaMarieBudgets
Even with friends you share expenses.
Great video I hope you have a great vacation ❤
50 dollar perday
Great budget breakdown 💸🤑👍
Great video Lisa Marie ❤😊 21:34
Good morning Lisa. Are you still able to use the planner that Daisy chewed on?
Yes! It’s the same one I’m using in the video.
🥰💙💙
Good morning Lisa
I would leave the 1309 in the account, until you get back from vacation and all the transactions have cleared.
