We budgeted a certain amount of money per month, then threw in 20% for unexpected costs. We also saved for years for this, My wife got a leave of absence from her job, I left my job, we rented our house out to cover all our costs while we are gone. We are fairly good with managing money and budgeting.[DOUBLEPOST=1540672555,1540672392][/DOUBLEPOST]
I won't have a job when we get back, but my wife will. I needed a change anyways and can always find another job. We are in good shape financially for this trip as we saved for the trip and for living cost for when we get back for 1 year if we need it. Life is really not about money anyways, as long as you have enough right?
