Road Trip Stats

Argh! We were so, so close to staying on budget last month. With one day left of July, we were still $25 under budget.

Unfortunately, a last minute emergency meant we had to … [Read more...] about Road Trip Stats: Month 7 – July 2018

We therefore made a much more concerted effort with staying … [Read more...] about Road Trip Stats: Month 2 – February 2018

Something I thought would be interesting to do on our 50 state road trip is to publish our stats each month. We've now been on the road for 31 days, so it's time for the first full installment of our stats. You can see where we were before the trip started here. As you'll … [Read more...] about Road Trip Stats: Month 1 – January 2018

I'm someone who loves figures, spreadsheets and other nerdy stuff. I therefore figured it might be fun to keep track of a bunch of different stats as our road trip progresses and share them here with you. How many miles we drive, how much money we spend each month, how many … [Read more...] about Road Trip Stats: Month 0 – December 2017
