Now you can go out there and enjoy all those new things.<br /><br />Rick and Elaine...It is interesting to keep track of the expenses, just so you can see where the money goes each month. It give you and idea of what you will spend over a year and then you can make adjustments where you need to in your budget.<br /><br />George and Suzie...I am sure our totals will average out over the year as well. We like to try and keep them down as much as we can though.<br /><br />Contessa...Not everybody budgets, but for us we like to know where we are spending money and if we need to cut back on anything or even if we can splurge every once in a while because we have done so well. We too, will work if we run short on money. It's nice having these options.<br /><br />Chuck and Anneke...I think we started out doing that, but then we wanted to see how much we actually spent on alcohol on a monthly basis. Nope don't want to buy alcohol here, bring it through the border with you and pay the duty on it if you have to.<br /><br />Chris...Another two months and we will be there and looking forward to it! Hope you had fun at Hacienda Contreras.<br /><br />Margie and Roger...Funny how we all look at things differently, to us this is very high. Thanks!<br /><br />Kevin, Ruth and WhiskeyKevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-54422190425724263282011-08-02T21:26:34.018-04:002011-08-02T21:26:34.018-04:00Wish our expenses were that low.

We work 7 months of the year to pay for the 5 months we travel so we have very limited funds but somehow it just seems to work out. We don't eat in restaurants other then Mexico once or twice per week and are happy to entertain ourselves. Sometimes Colin gets after me re the wine buy but heh you only live once. I guess if we ran out of money we would just come back home and work!!Contessahttp://www.contessajewall.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-56843375809749511482011-08-02T12:32:45.938-04:002011-08-02T12:32:45.938-04:00Not too bad on the expenses considering all the ex...Not too bad on the expenses considering all the extras. We have been averaging about $2300 a month since 2006. Including membership maintenance fees and 5-6 months in Ontario. Ontario is much more expensive and USA much less so our average works good for us.our awesome travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031755671050584629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-64577918636341982242011-08-02T11:02:57.690-04:002011-08-02T11:02:57.690-04:00Way to go you two....we haven't been far enoug...Way to go you two....we haven't been far enough to budget as of yet..but our day is coming...take care and be safe :)Rick and Elaine NBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08427469949434647618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-82700209267026086522011-08-02T09:56:11.292-04:002011-08-02T09:56:11.292-04:00I am not even going to look at our expenses for Ju...I am not even going to look at our expenses for July.
