Conversations about money

This post http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/2009/02/23/outside-looking-in-how-others-view-our-spending/ gets into discussions with friends about money and the 'you can't have it all' idea.

We have now paid for our Italy trip in full. How do you traveler's decide what to bring for spending/meals/entertainment? Some of our meals and tickets are included in the package, though not all of them are.

I initially budget $100/day for spending when I travel, and rarely actually hit it. I'll scale it back closer to $50 if I'm going somewhere cheaper, meals are included in already paid room prices, or if I've prepaid for tours. I really hate worrying about running out of money, and get any prebought cash from somewhere that will buy it back at the same rate.
