3. Do I Need a Budget?
As a rule of thumb, yes, you do need a budget. If you’re lucky enough to be super rich or have someone sponsor your travels, then there isn’t much to worry about. However, if that’s not the case, it’s essential to calculate a daily or weekly budget and stick to it.
It’s not uncommon for young backpackers to reach a new location, such as Southeast Asia, see how cheap it is, and think they’re millionaires. But if you go out drinking every night or try all the available activities, you’ll quickly find out there won’t be much money left for the rest of your trip.
