The Smith line sounds plain strange. It actually sounds as if someone had a foot sticking out of something. However, if the budget problem had already been discussed between the two before Smith said that line, then it would be acceptable.

Let's say I do need to include what's over the budget, would it be correct to say,
「小林さん、旅行が足が出たせいかこのごろ元気がありませんねえ。」

This one is much more reader-friendly. Need to change 旅行が to 旅行で, though.
