After planning the project, I've decided that the amount of money saved for this trip will cover the needs for the trip such as the ticket and food. And wants, such as souvenirs, are not a priority. The ticket costs $40 per person, so for me and a guest I have about $100 left over for food. I had to calculate how long it will take me to save $200, adding up to about 6 months. This allows me to take the trip at the end of June.
