Hello guys, I've done this already for so many times. And every time this happens I would just wish and hope my travel would not be interrupted for any reasons. Because if that would happen I know my limited cash could not reach to my destination. And that could be a big trouble on my part. So far I can't hardly remember a time this happened to me, thanks God. How about you guys, would you still travel if you only have enough or maybe lack of fundings in your pocket? Let's share your point of view guys...

Hello amigo, I did,not exactly just enough,but,limited. I remember this usually happens during my school days. I was on a boarding school,and during weekend,i need to travel home with just my fare and some spare of peso in my pocket for refreshment if i feel hungry. But,now a days,when i travel with my kids back to my hometown,i always bring some extra money,becoz my kids will keep asking for food(ugh..kids stuffs) Enjoy your travel dear amigo

Hi Mobhomier, My out of town travels are usually official. Even if i do not have enough personal money in my pocket i am sure that i will survive my entire trip because it's covered by the company--everything! so i just do my job and after that just stay inside the hotel, rest and after conducting the training- go back home and report for again. there's less chance to explore the place time is not enough. schedule is so tight!

ii got your point as it relates to your topic--my response is focused on going to an official trip because that's all the trips that i do. my trop to US was work and i was prepared for --i mean i have extra money to support the days while i am waiting for my first salary. then every time i go home to the the province to visit mom, i have some esxtra money to give mom for my meds. so for official trips i can't buy anything i want because i really don't have exstra money for it...i only have money for my food and transportation related to work. what i appreciate is at least i was able to visit the place for free despite the fact that i was not avble to explore the place and buy some souvenir items 'cause i dont have enough or extra money with me. quite frustrating!

Yes, I've done this before. Lucky for me, I made it home without any interruptions. But I remember being nervous while traveling 'coz if there will be any disruptions, then I don't know whom to borrow money just so that I can make it to my destination.

Well my friend arystine, for a lady like you I think that would not be a big problem because we (gentlemen) always ready to help to those women who sincerely need help. But for us, guys, it is hard to ask help to same guy especially in terms of money. It is maybe because most of the deceivers are all guys you seldom see women doing it...well, that's another topic.. Ohh thanks for responding this late compliment...take care... Mobhomeir here...

When I travel I usually make sure I have more than enough money or a credit card with me in case something happens. If I were low on funds, I probably would still travel if I already had an airline ticket or room reservation. Most of the time you have to pay up front for these things and can't get all or any of your money back if you back out at the last minute. I would just hope nothing happened that would use up all the money I did have on me. There is always credit, if there was an emergency. So far this has never happened to me and I don't travel much anymore so it's not likely to.

Yes I understand my friend..We have to be really prepared if possible on our trip. Well, it depends also on a situation like an emergency that you have to act instantly. Better if we have savings or like you, you have credit card but for someone like you that never had a credit card I think I would just lend from our friends. Well, that would only for an emergency cases... Thanks again my friend cerebellum for responding... Mobhmeir

Yes, I had an experience of that sort. There was incident a few years ago wherein I was going to the province for the weekend. All of a sudden, I realized that I only had one hundred twenty pesos in my wallet. I was riding a bus during that time. When the ticket guy approached me, he gave the ticket with punctured holes. The punctured holes is how you determine how much the fare was. I was perplexed to find out that it was for one hundred fifty pesos. I did not know what to do. I do not know if I would beg the driver or ask a passenger to give me a few coins. It was a relief that I just misread the ticket which was actually only one hundred fifteen pesos. Thank God I was able to get out of that situation.
