<prompt> Human: The original thread can be found here:I will go through the money numbers first, and then talk a little about the experience. I was pretty right on with my cost assumptions. Two things happened that really changed things. First, I got a 10K annual raise in June 2015, and I got a 6K bonus in Jan, 2016. Without those two things happening, I would have been within about 200 of my assumptions.Here is a screenshot of my spreadsheet for reference. Transportation is the thing that is more expensive than anticipated. I relocated myself a couple times at the beginning, because I didnt like where I was, but stopped that because it kills the budget. I also somehow forget to budget gas.I was dead on with hotel clothes. I wash my clothes every couple of days trade off at thrift stores weekly. I have about three days of clothes with me at all times. Being in the cold places in the winter SUCKS. I dont have a winter coat, but I sprint from the car to the buildings suck it up. One of my major costs was leaving Calgary for Jacksonville, FL in January. I have been playing with the food to try and make up the transportation spend. I make sure I hit the free breakfast, and such at the hotel. I also have been staying at hotels that have appetizer receptions at dinner on purpose. Ive also stopped with everything but straight up coffee at coffee shops. When in the southwest the Mexican food is so cheap good. Its a lifesaver. I cancelled Netflix because I never watch it, or any TV for that matter. For entertainment I listen to my books, use You Tube a password for another service that someone shared with me.I have stayed in a hotel room every night, except one. I stayed with a lady friend in Vancouver one night. ; Overall Id say Im ahead of where I thought I would be. I expected to be off on my assumptions the other way, but sometimes it works out. The CONS:Absolutely nothing. I cant think of one negative. I dont miss TV, or any of my material things. Ive figured out the clothes thing a major concern going into it and my work hasnt suffered at all. I am tempted to do some touristy things, and sometimes I do surf board rental, a day at Universal, and I have a very soft spot for live music baseball games.Thats a bit of an expense I have to pull out of my extra money. The ProsIve seen the country, and been able to do things and meet people that I have never would have under different circumstances. Ive been to the a dozen ball games, countless concerts, eaten at a million different places and have enjoyed my time just being out in the world. Ill attach an album of pictures Ive taken during my adventures. Ill try to keep it to the interesting stuff. Ill answer any questions you guys have. Avery  <response>: This whole thing is awesome. You really made the most of a unique situation job that requires traveling 40 weeksyear. But I have to say this part made me laugh.I also somehow forget to budget gas.How did you plan a life on the road and forget to budget gas?But seriously, this past year is something youll remember for the rest of your life as one of the best experiences youve ever had. Glad to hear everything worked out for you.
