EBOOK HOW TO BUDGET A FAMILY VACATION
September 24, 2009 – 2:40 pm | by
The family vacation has been portrayed in many ways. From National Lampoon’s “Vacation” showing the trials and tribulations of the Griswold family trying to get to “Wally World” to “The Great Outdoors” with John Candy and his family renting out a cabin in the woods only to encounter a meddling bear. Family vacations in the media seem to be one thing going wrong after another.
Whether it’s a summer trip, spring break jaunt, or wintering in the tropics, you’ll be able to plan your dream vacation without breaking the bank. You’ll get maximum fun without sacrificing every penny of your hard earned dollars – and you may even come back with a little extra to save for that next vacation!
There are many effective ways to save for your family vacation. When you spend 40 hours a week slaving at your job, you deserve to have some time to get away from the rat race, relax, and enjoy your family.
You need to budget realistically. Vacations need not be expensive. Budget an amount and stick to it. If you’re driving, set a fixed spending amount ($150 per day, for example). Include all of your expenses, gas, meals, admissions, special activities, etc. Involve your children in the process. Share with them that conserving money on one day allows them to go to a water park on another day. Be creative.
