# Travel Budget Tracker

**Folder:** Personal / Travel / Travel Budget Tracker

## What does it do?

Travel costs add up across flights, lodging, food, and activities, and it's easy to blow the budget without noticing.

This agent tracks it: it builds a trip budget by category, tracks spending against it as you go, and flags where you're trending over — so you enjoy the trip without the bill surprise.

## Benefits

- Trip budget built by category.
- Spending tracked as you go.
- Overspend flagged early.
- No bill surprises.
- Enjoy the trip, on budget.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — a spreadsheet for the budget; web for cost estimates.
• Skill — a budget skill with trip-category templates.

## Installation

1. Download this file.
2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
3. Restart Claude Code.

## How to use it

Set it up ("budget a $2,500 trip and track my spending"). It builds the budget and tracks against it.
