Ive been really trying to keep my money safe for acen though ive admittedly splurged here and there XD

but i have a little nest egg for acen saved up these past couple months to ensure i buy what i want and still wont starve.
past years i saved a fistful of cash for food and a couple hundred for loot. but i always end up missing out on that really expensive item i want that i find ( not this year! lol)

70-80: for my share of the room (were going to be REALLY pakced in XD)
200 for food ( dont think i need that much but never hurts to be safe )
1K: for any and all loot i want. i only plan on spending around a few hundred but if i see something i want this year its mine X3 weapon repicla, model kit, fancy portrait you name it.

Wow, $1000 reserved for stuff?! That's going big all right. I'd think you're shopping at AX or something.

$130 - hotel
$20 - food. It's all about sandwiches, apples and a water bottle for me!
$120 possibly - Anything else..... Since I usually buy stuff online nowadays I find it less enticing to buy things from the dealers room. :I This is mostly going towards LM.C anyway.
Plus finding merch and doujin from current season anime is really hard considering most of that stuff comes out way late.

Guys...I'm just going there and not getting room. How much should I have? i'm trying to mostly get t-shirts and some posters if they are godlike.

I've really downsized over the years. Last year I made $30 (total money on me) last 4 days, having been borked, as compared to a couple hundred in past years; I think one time I'd actually came to con with close to $300-400 on me just for spending in the AA/DH (wth 15yo me, wth).

This time around I'll probably only have $80-100 for the weekend, mostly toward split food and possible small finds in the AA, and possibly an overpriced drink or few in the hotel bars later at night (my group's room is booked on my card so I won't need my part in cash this year). If I'm feeling splurgey, I might bring $150 or so, and maybe we can eat one night one of of the restaurants that aren't McD's or Giordanos -- particularly that 1940s style Irish pub that's getting built by the Muvico, assuming it's done in time (or maybe the Hilton's 1920's restaurant and I can feel like a time traveller despite lacking a TARDIS or River's/Captain Jack's timey-wimey watch ; w; ).
