Breaking the Bank

I don't have a picture of it, but as Ryan and I were walking back from the bus station today we saw these giant porcelain piggy banks.  They were literally the size of basketballs and painted horrific colors (even by Costa Rican standards).  It reminded me of a conversation I had this morning so I decided to share it with you:

I'm a bit obsessed with this Excel Spreadsheet I have that lists all the expenses I have (Muchas Gracias Senor Alex Knight).  I can tell you exactly what I have spent on gas, food, groceries, rent, etc. each month for the past 3 years.  Even here I have saved every receipt or typed in my phone every expense I've had ... laugh if you must.  Therefore, I will leave you with these figures to give you something to think about.
 

Average Amount Spent Per Day
Denver - $85.69 (includes rent, car payments, food, etc.)
Costa Rica - $36.67 (includes housing, food, travel, etc.)

Average Amount Spent Per Month

Denver - $2,570.85
Costa Rica - $1,100.00 - While Traveling

Average Amount Spent Per Year
Denver - $30,850.16
Costa Rica - $13,200 (estimated if continuing to travel around)

It's also cool for me to keep in mind that once I rent a place (most go for about $300 for 3 bedrooms), stop eating out every meal, and am no longer traveling around I'll be spending about $15/day.... Anybody else want to move out here?
