3 Ways to Save Money on a Vacation and Still Have a Wonderful Time
Save Money on a Vacation
There are many ways to save money on a vacation, with the understanding that vacations are expensive, for many the savings are crucial. Here I list just a few of the most effective ways to save money on a vacation. You can enjoy yourself if you spend a lot or a little, so why not save when you need to.
There Are Beautiful Places to Visit in the United States
- U.S. travel – everyone gets foreign travel photos in their social media news feeds on a regular basis. So, it is easy to get the foreign travel bug. And, of course you can find a full package for $2000 with an uber cheap flight and hotel packages purchased months in advance. The tricky thing is to research the airline safety and the hotel you will stay in.
As a less, expensive alternative: Say you look at beautiful local resorts, national parks, and big city tours for a full package flight and hotel for $600. You can pretend to suffer paying for the foreign travel package and put the difference of $2000-$600 = $1400. in the bank. You can also choose to travel by car which tends to be even less expensive than flying.
A Staycation Does Not Require Airline or Hotel Expense
- A staycation is something that appeals to people who haven’t done much to enjoy their own city, town or even home. If you live in an area where there are a lot of tourist attractions, you can do a staycation. Or, you have guest you would like to invite to hang out and see the local attractions with you, that would also be nice. The savings speak for themselves. The money that you save by staying close to home will go straight to savings.
Use a Windfall to Save Money on a Vacation
- Then there is the windfall, larger than expected tax return, or gift. If any of these occur, you can use half or less, of the proceeds to take an unusually nice extended vacation either U.S. based or foreign for the next few years. You can place it in a vacation fund. You will still save by putting away at least half of the proceeds into your basic savings. How much you spend depends on how much your windfall is. Don’t forget to tackle pesty bills you have had long term.
Here are just 3 ways to save money on vacation and still have a wonderful time, you can think of more.
