Travel for Weeks on Almost No Money

  1. Write the cash you can actually spend

    This step produces a single number: travel cash already free after home obligations. Later steps turn it into a daily burn floor — first lock what is real.

    1. Open your accounts and write travel cash = money free after rent, debt minimums, and a 30-day emergency buffer at home.
    2. Do not count next month’s paycheck, credit limits, or money you might earn on the road.
    3. Save the number at the top of trip-budget.txt with today’s date.
