Around one year ago my friend and I decided we wanted to travel to Asia. I remember we were so excited and it was all we’d talk about and then the idea sort of just fell off. We didn’t speak about it for a while, mainly because of the cost. After time went by and after we both had the money, we decided to go ahead and leave a deposit. It was one of the most exciting moments of my life! The fact that I, a 20-year-old guy working the 9-5, would be traveling to Asia, was unbelievable! It didn’t really settle in until a few weeks before we were due to depart. It was one crazy feeling…
I found that the ATM charges added up more than I expected as well! It helped to save my ATM receipts so I could keep track as well as downloading a currency converting app on my phone!
I should have done that too! It would have been nice to see how much was actually spent on transaction fees.
