I plan to take an international trip in the future. I need money for that, actually, I already have the funds. However, using that money for the trip would wipe out my entire savings, and I like to keep an emergency fund.I earn about $350/month, and if I spend only on essentials, my expenses come to $70/month. I need a total of around $2000 for the trip.How can I spend less and save more to accumulate this money? I hate using credit cards; even without interest, I feel like I become a slave to the bank.I don't want advice on crypto, stocks, or how to make money. I just want advice on spending less and saving more. I think that if I really put my mind to it, I can save up that amount in less than 9 months.

>>62525244You are way too poor to even think about doing a trip anon. You need to get to the next social class or you won't enjoy your trip. Trust me I've been to Japan when I was poor and I couldn't even eat sushi or Kobe meat. Use this money to get a better job or something
>>62525244>I plan to take an international trip in the future.

If you can't afford the trip (having cash to pay up front doesn't mean you can "afford" it), and you don't want advice to make money, then the answer is "don't go".>$350/month with $70/month in expensesAre you in the US and living with parents, or in some other country where everything is cheaper?

>>62525247Yes, I don't have the money right now (except for my emergency fund), which is precisely why I'm asking how to save that amount.>>62525311I ran the numbers, and considering the time I plan to stay in the country, this amount is considered average—neither just enough nor the maximum.>>62526326I live in another very cheap country.
>>62526567>you can't do the math by yourself?Yes, I just wanted some advice on saving money. I think I should have asked about it on /adv/.
>>62525244Whatever you do, fly in Airbus if you value your life. If it's Boeing, you ain't going.
