I've been trying to work out a rough budget for myself today and I think I've worked out a conservative estimate that I should be able to save about $6k by the time I leave for America.
That isn't including the amount for my tax return though or the couple of weeks pay I'll get while I'm actually in the states.
So all things being equal I could have as much as 8 grand to blow while I'm overseas.
And I'm still worried I won't have enough.
