Because I have so little, and need to keep something for the big trip I do want to do.

I'll be leaving about a grand in the savings. Using that will bring my budget up for this trip, but not enough to be worth taking it away from the next trip, or getting my own place, or whatever it is I spend my money on next.

Also, my dad was bad with money his whole life and never saved very well, and now we're poor people. So I have a discomfort about spending my savings.
