Saving money is not as easy for others who do not have as much to earn. Our country is in a recession and we barely have money saved for the future plans we like to have for ourselves and our families. We mostly spend our money for bills, food, gas and the material things we like to have. We all want to go on a vacation because we want to relax and enjoy our time besides working. Here are some tips to save money for your vacation.
1. Have a savings account that is not easily accessible.
2. Reduce eating at restaurants, movie theatres, and shopping.
3. Research online for the best deals.
4. Sell things you no longer need.
If you have a savings account, you can add as much money as you would like or automatically transfer funds from your checking account. Be sure that you’re account is not easily accessible because if it was, that would defeat the purpose of saving. Also, reduce other activities that require you to spend like shopping or eating at restaurants. Instead, try to shop for things you need and not want and cook at home instead of buying out.
Saving for your dream vacation definitely is not as easy, but if you really want to have that getaway, then you should start saving now!
Also look into time shares. Often you can find deals just by going on a 2-3 hour presentation and only spend $200 for a 4day 3 night stay. I know this because I have done a time share vacation before. I booked for $119 and received a $75.00 visa gift card that paid for my hotel taxes which was the only other thing I had to pay for in the end. I also received a $100 off any additional stay to one of their Wyndham hotels. The time share was an exhausting presentation and very tempting I may add to purchase but as long as you continue to say NO you are all in the clear.
