Project Promise Cheaper than Expected

From the $10,000 originally thought, the price has dropped significantly after some research and cost cutting. The whole road trip can now be achieved (from our calculations) for a measly $1,500.  This money, which we already have btw, means the trip is definitely going to happen.

Some of the price cutting included finding a more efficient car.  We went from a 24 mpg car to a 36 mpg car, effectively cutting out $400 in fuel costs.  Instead of motels/ hotels, we will be staying in hostels around the country.  Food, instead of grocery stores, will be bought in bulk from Costco.

A more detailed price breakdown and time breakdown to come.
