How much money?
Taking a page from another post (trinbee's) in regards to money for carnival. How much money allyuh feel is absolutely necessary in order to have a good time and really have full enjoyment. (forget about costume, plane ticket, car rental and hotel). I mean just hanging out and fete money.

Usually my only Carnival expense besides a costume is fete money/liming and it is about 250-400 US. Depends on if I go to all the fetes I plan to go to...sometimes sleep takes over.

I usually take between $500 to $800...this covers my tickets for fetes, paying off for the costume and buying food and liquor for the house I stay at...
