How Much Would You Think?
 

Again contemplating my annual sorjourn to Goa, but this year it's slightly different! I am now semi-retired and am contemplating a longer break, possibly 3 months. My question is how much would you suggest I budget for this, including property rental, car hire and general day to day expenses. I tend to eat out quite a lot, however I don't smoke and drink moderately (most of the time)! Property wise either a studio or one bed would be fine as long as there is a pool on site and a small car is also fine as long as it has air con. I was thinking round about 400/500 a week. However I am happy to be corrected.

£500 a month +!

Re: How Much Would You Think?
 

The above should( ! ) cover property (with pool) and car hire per month!
Food etc extra.
Friends who come out for 5 months and have their own property and car
and do some of their own catering think they are doing well spending under
£3000 in that period.

Just to clarify I was thinking 400/500 pounds sterling a week - about 6000 pounds sterling for the three months.

I rent a one bedroom no pool or car, but smoke, drink and eat out every lunchtime and night, not on a strict budget.
With rent and everything about £800 a month.
If my budget was £400/500 a week, it would be Thailand and still have plenty of change.:thumbsup:

Silly me! we have the apartment, and jeep!

Re: How Much Would You Think?
 

I have no rent costs and spend 3 months in Goa every year. I take home change from £1500 and eat out more or less all the time, usually manage to buy some gold jewellery, and certainly don't scrimp in any way.

Don't know if that helps, but I guess it is all on what you want to do when you're there

Dread - x

I do not pay rent but hire a car and live well for usually just over 2000 pounds for five months..
