What are some good "hitchhiker's guide" type resources (books or online) about traveling on a tight budget?

i love to travel, but i put myself in the poorhouse doing it... I would love to rough it to save money... I know they used to put out guides such as "a hitchhiker's guide to europe," but those books are out of print and out of date. What do people use today?

I believe Lonely Planet has a range of travel books on various destinations "on a shoestring", such as "Europe on a shoe-string". You can go check them out.

I personally also use EF College Break when traveling abroad. (That's if I'm not backpacking).. My experiences have been absolutely amazing, and the age group is only from 18-26 which means there won't be any older creepy people on the tours, haha.. They also guarantee to be the cheapest touring company!.. And the code Tech2009 now will save you money on tours with them..
