How to save for your dream vacation


We all have a place we want to go to very much, more than any other place in the world , and that is our dream place. But when you look at the calendar and all the things you have going on in your life it may look impossible to ever go there. But don’t get discouraged, you can turn it into a reality and I’ll give you some tips on how to start saving for it. 

1. Keep your vacation reasonable - the first step is to understand your starting point. The baby steps you’re on right now will help you determine what’s possible. Your dream vacation for a given year might be a quick trip to the beach, instead of a Caribbean cruise or a tour of European capitals. Just remember, the idea is to get away from the “normal” for a little bit

2. Plan your vacation with the end in mind - once you know your starting point, you need to figure out where you want to be and how much will it cost to get there. Research how much your vacation is likely to cost, then divide that by the number of weeks or months you’ll be spending there. Suddenly, you’ll have an idea of how much you’ll have to save each month to reach your vacation saving goal. And don’t forget, plan for everything! Things always cost more than we expect, so having a little extra cash will do you just fine

3. Cut some expenses and add some income - dream vacations with unlimited budgets don’t just happen. No one wants to go somewhere and not be able to do any activities. You need to have the financial flexibility to make a vacation a truly unforgettable experience. So cutting back on some luxuries and earning a little extra income will help you achieve that

4. Start your vacation savings plan today - the key to saving for a vacation is having a plan, so the earlier you start, the more you can put into your plan. The tough work you put in now will help you experience your vacation to the fullest, without relieving a financial nightmare when you come back home
