What really is my bankroll?

[MicroBob]

$42/day for food/drink every freaking day strikes me as pretty high no matter where you live.

Then again, NBA and MLB players get something like $150-$200/day cash per-diem for road-trips I think (as if they couldn't cover it on their own).


If you're a business-person eating-out and eating out every day (and meeting clients, etc) then obviously you would need even more than that amount.

but if you live at home and have a fairly normal job and normal expenses then I just don't see why you would need that much.
