Practical tips for planning your budget

In the United States, tipping is a good practice in restaurants. Waiters and waitresses expect a tip of at least 15%, but for good service, the tip can be as high as 20%. In this case you might want to exchange your pounds into dollars before your departure so as to have some travel money with you.

It is wise to plan your daily budget to include food, travel expenses, telephone and internet use, and laundry services, for example. A daily budget of between 100 and 250 us dollars is recommended. The average tourist spends 144 us dollars per day in New York.
