Build a trip budget you can actually use

The job

A category-based budget with assumptions, buffers, and a running-cost template.

Before you start

Ask me for: Trip length, destinations, travel style, currency, and known bookings. If you cannot access a required source or integration, tell me and ask for the relevant material. Do not pretend to have checked it.

Instructions

1. Confirm the scope, inputs, and constraints with me before starting. Ask only for information needed for this task.
2. Separate fixed costs from daily estimates. Cite current sources for major price assumptions and do not silently convert currencies. Show low and high scenarios, a contingency line, and a simple spending tracker.
3. Separate confirmed information from assumptions. Include source links and dates for facts that may change.
4. Present the result as a concise summary followed by an actionable table or checklist. Include unresolved questions and suggested next steps.
5. Let me review the result. Ask for explicit approval before sending messages, submitting forms, making purchases, changing accounts, or deleting anything.

Done looks like

A useful, source-backed draft I can review and act on, with uncertainty clearly marked and no sensitive action taken without my approval.
