I am wanting to travel the world at cheap costs but still be able to see and do wonderful things. I am not sure how to even begin my planning. I want to go to multiple countries so what would I need or need to do? Is there a website that could state specifics? How much money should I take as spendings?
Could someone help me out?

I'm not sure where exactly you would like to begin your exploration of the world. But if it's Europe I think you should get a Eurail Pass, carry one backpack for all your stuff (It can be done with proper planning), stay at hostels, and picnic a lot. Transportation, lodging, and food are the three things that can break our budget. But if you buy your Eurailpass in the U.S. in advance (you can get this at www.ricksteves.com) then all you'd have to worry about would be meals, lodging, and some spending money . Rick Steves has wonderful information about backpacking through Europe cheap, cheap, cheap. We have purchased many of his books and have even purchased Eurailpasses through his travel company. The key is proper step by step planning. You will love travel but fair warning once you start it's hard to stop. The love for travel seems to instantly grow so much that once you arrive back at home you immediately start thinking about planning your next trip. Have fun learning about the world and learning a great deal about yourself through travel. :)

First, buy a winning lottery ticket!
Then, buy the entire series of lonely planet books! They are a travelers best friend!
Hotels and ailrlines cost the most, so search for good deals. If you find a great price for a hotel or airfare on expedia, go directly to the hotels or airlines site and you are guaranteed a cheaper price.
Buy maps and plan walking tours, most often with few exceptions, guided tours are a waste of money. Also, if you are going to stay in hostels, buy mini pad locks for your bags. Always better safe than sorry.
Be mindful of your surroundings and learn a few key words in each language. A smile will get you help in any language!

Backpacking is the cheapest way to go. You might want to start in Europe if you haven't done much traveling as it is a good way to get your feet wet. You don't need visas for most European countries so that is one less thing to worry about. A really good website to check out once you have decided where you want to go is Lonely Planets Thorn Tree where you can ask questions about where you are going (where to stay, what to do,).
