I’m going to ask even though most of you want answer me

So how much spending money do you think my grandson will need for 2 weeks in LA. All his food is paid for. So it’s just every day stuff like drinks and stuff out.

As somone who frequently goes on trips i don't have enough cash for, 150 dollars a day minimum. If you stick to tourists areas of any American city you'll need 20 dollars per meal, 15 per drink, 30 per uber/taxi then triple it for the west coast. Since he has his food paid for and assumingly won't be drinking much he could get by on less but 100 euros won't last 6 hours out in Santa Monica or sunset strip.

there are too many variables involved to make any meaningful predictions.

First off.... He might meet a girl.!
Thats double the $$ because you know he is going to meet someone within 2 weeks.

Next off..... What part of L A is he visiting?
He might need bail money for drinking under age.

Then there's traveling expenses..... Bus or taxi if he wants to catch a show somewhere(with a girl).

I'd put it all summed up to $2,000

@SledgeHammer You must've been a pretty wild 17 yr old.
SledgeHammer · 46-50, M
@Vin53 yup... From L A

@SledgeHammer I would go with $2000 and up..If he plans something special.😷
I’d go with $100 per day. Would rather he have too much money than not enough.
How old is he? A night out in a bar here could cost $100 easily.

I would look at $25/day.
@Houdini you asked what he'd "need" apart from food. Nothing.
Houdini · 56-60, M
@Roundandroundwego so he won’t need anything when he his out of the day like drinks and trips is that what you are saying lol. He’s coming over to play basketball so I’m guessing he’s going to need money while he’s traveling
@Houdini it's great if you have some.
Vin53 · M
how old is he
Vin53 · M
@Houdini $1k if you have it.
Houdini · 56-60, M
@Vin53 that’s not a problem for me. I’m just pissed off with his mum only giving him £100 when she has known about this trip for months and has done nothing to help him with money. I’m trying to prove a point here
Vin53 · M
@Houdini A k, and he has to take his hosts out for at least 1 meal. I wouldn't put the kid in between your squabble with his mum.

$500.00 should cover incidental expenses for a couple weeks.

That depends on how much of a good time you want him to have. Bare minimum would be $20 a day. A hundred a day insures a really good time. Of course your finances play a huge part in this too.

$800 to $1,000
Teenager...$20 per day
Adult...$50-$100 per day
