Just out of personal curiosity what do most of you guys spend per day?

$100
$200
$300
$400
$500
$600 or more


NOT including hotel (which I rarely ever use, since I have a place), I would say $250 to $300 will keep the party jumping pretty well. That would include 2 or 3 sessions. Almost always an MP girl and an Indie or 2. Food, beer and taxis. The basics. Some guys gamble, some guys take the girls shopping (guilty as charged...on occasion) and some guys spend money on unnecessary evils. So this is truly and individual decision. But, I would be fine on $300/day.

I'm going to take Brother DiegoC's excellent question and make it a poll.

I like to carry cash. Pay the hotel bill in cash and get a discount. So not counting the hotel and with one girl a day my average expense/day is less than $150.
My last trip over 6 days my total daily expense (hotel/food/girls/museums/viagra) was $220.
So with air fare at $640. I came in just under $2000.

This is no shit....

On my first trip to Argentina in April 2002, I arrive all groggy eyed at EZE..and a woman who was old enough to be my great grandmother tugged at my arm in the baggage claim..she said I should go to the bank today b/c they will be closed tomorrow..this is a Sunday morning and I don't think much of it...maybe a national holiday or something..what she was trying to say was that there was to be a national Bank holiday for what turned out to be the next ten days...I didn't go to the bank...next day...none of my ATM or Credit Cards worked..I had a bit of cash on me..but luckily I had some friends in Bs. Aires who spotted me 2K in Benjis..I would have been phucked if they weren't there for me. Moral of the story..don't put all your eggs in a plastic basket when travelling...things can get real interesting real quick..This goes for here in gringolandia as well...bank holidays and refusing checking account withdrawls extends to ATMs.

My average with my wingmen is $300/day/person not including airfare, hotel and excursions. This usually includes 2-3 chicas, 1 MP and 1 independent with drinks and food. My 2nd trip was 4 days/3 nights came to under $2000 including airfare, hotel and 2 visits to the dentist office. It was well worth the money as the work I had done would cost about the same here in the states.
