The trip is fun. The money panic isn't

07 Sep 2026 · Travel Planner ($14) · buy with crypto $14 →

Day three of the holiday, standing outside a restaurant, doing currency math in your head and wondering if the trip still fits the budget. Nobody plans a trip to feel that. The panic doesn't come from spending — it comes from not knowing the running total.

Cost it before you go

A day-by-day itinerary where every row has a cost, grouped by day with visible totals, plus one rollup: spend so far versus the trip cap. When the numbers are written down before departure, day three is just dinner — not arithmetic. The sample trip (5 days, Da Nang/Hoi An, fully costed) shows what "done" looks like, so you're filling in your own numbers, not designing a system.

Plan one FOR someone

An itinerary with real costs is also an unusually good gift: a weekend planned end-to-end for a friend, numbers included. Cheaper than guessing, more personal than cash.

Travel Planner ($14) ships the day-by-day itinerary DB, the budget-vs-actual rollup, and the costed sample trip — or all 9 packs in the $39 bundle.
