I guess this is a pretty broad question about expenses, but I was more interested in whether people spend $500 a week or $1000 per week on day to day living while travelling.
Naturally it will depend on your lifestyle,but I would guess close to
$750 per week.Lots of variables,eat out,eat in,"resort" living or national parks,miles driven per week...and the list goes on.$1000 plus
per week would be closer if you travel in "vacation" mode
Wow!!! We've never spent anywhere close to $750-$1000/week. No way!! Gulp!!! How do you figure? I guess you could if you went out to a restaurant for every meal and stayed at the most expensive parks. There are many ways to cut down on costs. Even if you figure $40/day for a campsite which would be extremely high for us, that's only $280. We eat meals in our RV and occasionally go out but not to a 5-star restaurant. We could never have lasted as full-timers if we spent $750+/week.
