i think i've been doing pretty good with saving up money, i just started around january and i have around $300 now
i still have enough money to sport 2 cosplays, so i think financially i'm pretty stable for this year. out of all the years i've spent at otakon, this is the most money i've ever had to spend there.
but i will definately make sure to budget! i can't go spending all willy nilly, thank goodness i live in baltimore so i really don't have to worry about a hotel. foodwise, i don't plan to spend more than 70$ for that weekend what can i say? i can't walk around otakon half d
