1. I’m saving for my trip in May 2010. I worked out what the approximate cost for my trips, accommodation, flights, insurance etc. and then $200AU spending money per day and then divided it by the amount of weeks I have until I leave. This meant that I could see how much I needed to save per week. I then started keeping a budget, and took monthly things into account and divided them into weeks (e.g. phone bill is $40 a month therefore $10 a week). In my budget I account for all the weekly expenses and then add in what I spend. Knowing that I’m keeping track of what I’m spending my cash on means taht I think twice about spending money on unnecessary items such as more clothes!!

   The budget also allows me to see that I am saving the amount that I need to save per week.
