Flight Ticket: Around the world (Paid for by parents as a 21st present)
Contiki: $5085AUS (37 days) - $1380AUS
Looking into a cheaper one as well. Emma and I need to decide which one we want to do. + there is an island tour of Greece for 8 days which is a possibility
Prices subject to change upon new list released next year. Might be cheaper due to the Olympics in London
V festival 2012: $300AUS Camping weekend tickets
Olympics: 40 pounds
I might have to forgo the Olympic games because of costs I have to pay while travelling around Europe.
Extra: Food, Drinks, Transport, Clothes
I'm going to need a fair bit for these. My cousins will pay for my drinks when I'm staying with them which will help (they spoil me on account we live 1/2 around the world from each other and yet are very close. Thank you facebook and iphone face to face
-----------------------------------------------
The Plans:
Work:
As of yet I don't know how much per hour I'm getting. Being 20 it has to be over $16 but for my sake in not over calculating and being disappointed I don't have all that much money I plan to at least put more than 150 per week into my savings account - on basis I'll have the shifts to be able to put said much in each week. What ever is left the night before my next pay will go straight into savings. I'll have 6 days to purchase anything clothing wise before that money goes unless I need more than in my account. I'll hold out till the next week.
64 weeks till I leave at $150 per week saved gives me $9600
Clubs:
Won't be going to many this year. Or won't be spending all of my money on drinks. Sneak in my own like I always do or find something else.
Birthday Presents:
Only purchase 21st presents unless people bought me one.
Matt, Emma, Jess, Hilary, Felix, Megan, Dani, Sarah, Beck, Kim and Alana are all of my close friends turning 21 this year. Have to get them all something really nice
Movies:
Casual thing each week. $12.50 for movie and around $5 for my slurpee.
Dinner:
$20-$25 normally associated with movies as we do that before we go to them
Newcastle:
$12 just getting there by train + mag. I try and get up there to see Shion when I can. Unfortunately it's like every second month but she comes down to see me as well
Events:
Trips to the city, to go places that involve money and transport. Price always subject to change
Books:
CUT BACK! There are only a few handful of books coming out at the end of the year which I have been following along in the series already and have to get. Do not start a new series is what I'm telling myself. I have a huge list of books to read already that are getting bigger and bigger because I have not yet read them
DVD:
Only ever in the sale. $12.95 or more I shall resist the urge to purchase unless TV series where $30 is allowed
My 21st in 2012:
All I will be asking for is money. All money will be spent on my trip. Hopefully I'll have a few hundred $$$ an added bonus for everything else I shall have saved
