If you’ve spent anytime at all on the LP Thorntree or BootsnAll forums, you’ve no doubt heard the question asked a million times: How much do I need to save to travel the world?

One year ago today, Nora Dunn took this and other key long term vagabonding questions head-on in our multipart series, A Practical Guide to Vagabonding and Long Term Travel (first in the series here). In part two, she explores Money Matters:
