Money
Re: Money
It's not just about the smoking as it's everything else that adds to the money needed. Even a low tollerance smoker smoking 2-3 grams a day will spend about the €25 mark on smoke alone. If your smoking that in the coffeeshops you will at least be expected to buy drinks while you are there. A drink might cost between €1.50-€2.75?. You cant just get 1 drink and stay there a couple of hours on that 1 drink as thats taking the piss. At least 1 drink per hour I'd say. So 8-10 hours a day in a coffeeshop is another €20 in coffee or juice alone. You can add to that if your a beer drinker and go to a smoking friendly bar and have a beer at €2.75dpgsoulja89 wrote:I dont get how yall could spent 100 to 120 in one day,do you buy cocaine or sumtin?lolwhen i was there i spent about 30 to 40 tops a day!maybe caz i have low tolerance,but i still did alot of stuff with my money,curious how you spend so much in one day
-€6.00 with your joint. Food is expensive unless you snack and or eat on the move.
So I'd still say €75 per day is the minimum for my liking.

Re: Money
Those numbers are just about right...100e - 150e p/d, and are quite doable when you are only going for 3-4 days, even for a week. When you plan for an extended visit, say a month, that sort of per-diem can get a little out of hand....31 days @ 150e p/d = 4650e.
The only real advise that can be offered is, 'Take as much as you can....and enjoy'
