Suggested Personal Expense Budget: $TBA

Since this program is new this year, the average personal expense budget is a very loose estimate of what participants in other programs in Ireland have suggested in the past. Of course, some people spend more and some people spend less. The amount for personal expenses is intended to provide a reasonable minimum estimate.

The amount for personal expenses is intended to provide a reasonable minimum estimate for groceries, meals, travel within the city, minor emergencies, etc. However, this estimate does not include optional independent travel, personal entertainment, or currency fluctuations. You should do some research on your own about costs, think about what how you usually spend money when you are traveling, and create a realistic budget for yourself.
