Budget for May

Monday, May 31st, 2010

This month I spent the first week in Guatemala then moved on to Honduras. Traveled most of the month with a few people which increased my fun but maybe my costs as well as I took an unexpected trip to flores and tikal again. Getting a job at the end of the month and free lodging for two weeks on Roatan all helped keep me almost on budget. The biggest problem this month was that I bought a flight home for Grandmas funeral, that kinda blew my budget, if I don’t count the ticket I was barely over. So I will post the numbers with and without the ticket. Also If I figure in the amount of money I got paid here into the monthy balance I am actually under budget. I guess there are lots of ways to look at it…

Here is my breakdown for May, which was spent in Guatemala and Honduras.
