The most important approach to ensure that you can enjoy everything on your bucket list while on a road trip, as well as making the most of your trip, is to set up a budget.
You can use these spreadsheets while you are still in the planning stages and the automatic calculator will give you a clear understanding of where you are at. And with our ever changing financial situation, you can even use these spreadsheets as a home budget.
During our big lap planning stages we developed a few different spreadsheets to assist with our own travel budget. And now we want to offer it to you, to help you get a clear understanding of what money may look like living on the road. We have based this package on our three years of planning and travel. After experimenting with them and entering your own data, you could be closer to living the dream, or knowing what you need to do for your dream to become a reality!
