Budget this trip by structure, not by price

The flights are booked and you suspect the real number is higher.

Budget this trip by structure rather than by price. Split it into committed, near-certain daily, occasional, and the invisible category: transfers, bag fees, tips, water, left luggage, the taxi because it rained.

Give me a daily range and say what pushes me to each end. Do not quote prices for this destination, name the three things I should price-check myself.

Making it yours

  • Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
  • Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
  • If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.

Choosing and budgeting. Picking between options, planning around a hard constraint, and what the trip will really cost.
