Mobile Phone use in the US is EXPENSIVE. Don't pay the rip off charges over there, get a MAXROAM sim before you go and get a US and Irish number in one. Call home for the price of a local call from your mobile!

Get a MAXroam SIM and Enjoy Global calls 
at local prices

    Your biggest cost after rent will be drink but its VERY cheap if you drink Natural Ice. One guy staying in our house lived on $4 a day for most of the summer but in fairness he was eating noodles every day and not able to go anywhere.

    I'd say $40 a day and you are in good shape.
