You have to check out the Balkans!! Your money will go sooo much further, especially in Albania. Hostels can be around $10 with breakfast. Quick meals $1-3. Sit-down restaurants $5-10. Buses between cities $3-4 (Albanians are also super hospitable and hitchhiking is very common). I backpacked Europe for a few months and had the same financial dilemma with my plane ticket. I came back for family, but you should definitely extend your trip. I promise it's worth it. Depending on where you travel, it can be cheaper to backpack over there AND spend a thousand on a new plane ticket compared to gas/rent/food prices in America. Try to find the cheapest flight from anywhere in Europe back to the US and then book a budget airline/train/bus for the connection from your last destination.
