So . . . . with that great article from Weathercarrot in mind and not seeing a specific thread for this concern elsewhere, and with the intention of not comparing who has the most $$ saved up, this is still a concern of ours.
Due to many things, DH and I have not saved up nearly as much as we thought we would. As it stands now (we have to go over our budget again tonight) we will have barely $2,000 per person for the trail. That includes ALL food, possible nights @ hostels, gear replacement, etc. We don't drink/smoke so no extraneous money there.
Is it unreasonable to think that $4,000 will sustain us for 5-6 months? How much are you guys expecting to spend?
