Well, I am doing a similar thing later this year. I will not mention numbers, as it is easy to spend as much or as little as you want.
First off; I am selling up completely, and doing the trip open-ended. The points which reduce my costs are that I will be wild camping 5 to 6 days per week; I already have a motorcyle; I do not plan to do "big miles", but just drift along and stay a few days at a time in the tent; I'm "veggie", so low food costs; Oh, and I'm a rabid minimalist.
No GPS, no fancy camera, no computer.
Also, there are not many sure things in life, but taxes, old age, and death are worth betting on.
I would prefer to try it than not to, but it is really up to each indidual.
Oh, and remember Ted Simon. He set off with costs planned, and then the Middle East war kicked off, and petrol went through the roof. He still went, and the rest is history.
And finally, I have become careful of too much advice, so just best to ignore me, and go with your desires!
Slightly off the original cost question, but hope it helps.
OK, everybody can shout at me know!! Oh, I'm cutting off all subs as the days tick away, so only on the e-mail on library visits; thus my replies are quite slow.
