<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you looking to plan a dream vacation with your spouse and kids? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning a vacation for the family is exciting until you realize the cost of traveling may not fit your budget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not to worry. You need a plan to save for a vacation, and I have some ideas on the best saving plan to get you closer to your family vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will need to research the prices for the type of vacation, the location, the stay, food, activities, transportation, and the amount of travelers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you know the cost, it’s time to devise a good saving plan to achieve the goal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help, I want to share how to plan and save for a dreamy, memorable vacation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This information I share is from what I’ve learned, and experienced with travel clients, and what my husband and I do to go on a vacation. <\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before Saving, Research the Cost of the Vacation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What type of Family Vacation are you planning?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Hot Tea on the Condo’s Balcony in Myrtle Beach<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First, what kind of vacation are you planning for? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I suggest picking out three different types of trips to do with the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trips like Disney<\/a>, cruise vacations, or laying on the beachside in the Caribbean Island<\/a> at an all-inclusive to save time on food and drinks, or drive to a beach nearby for the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever type of vacation you choose, add the cost of the trip plus extra for other expenses to a planner to help you keep track of your goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip:<\/strong> When adding the cost of the trip onto a planner, be sure to add other expenses like country, taxes, travel insurance, transportation, food, drinks, activities, and shopping.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Location Are You Planning To Go?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cost of the vacation will depend on the location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you planning to stay nearby, drive to another state, or fly across the country? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you want to cruise, explore the world, go to the Caribbean, or take an international trip? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you see that Walt Disney has other vacation packages, like \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6..?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So wherever you choose will depend on how much you can save and when you decide to go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to explore further, the trip’s price will be a higher budget, so you may need to plan that trip for next year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, start with a smaller budget if you want to go on a trip sooner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any trip away from home responsibilities can be a great vacation.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Road Trip<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the Length of the Trip?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cost of the trip can also depend on how long you plan on staying on your vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cruises and guided tours have set schedules like the length of days, the month, and selected trip dates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re staying at a hotel or resort, the price will vary based on the number of days you book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can always add more days after you book a trip, but at most 60 days before you leave, if available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip:<\/strong> When you book through a travel planning expert, payment plans and a low deposit for your trip can be arranged. Click here<\/a> when your ready to hire a travel expert.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, plan accordingly regarding the number of days on the vacation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where do you plan to stay?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most hotels and resorts only have one bedroom with a king or two queen beds, a bathroom, a mini refrigerator, and a TV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some hotels and resorts<\/a> have more amenities, bedrooms, or a penthouse suite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you book an Airbnb or vacation home, you have a home away from home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cruise lines have rooms that vary from one single bed to multiple beds in each stateroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stateroom types are inside room, outside, or suite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip:<\/strong> Check prices on the rooms, taxes, and fees. The cost varies depending on the type of room you select. The bigger the room, the higher the cost.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much are the activities, drinks, and food? <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a budget for the food, drinks, and activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, Walt Disney Theme Parks<\/a> offers food and drink packages and other activities to add to your trip cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re staying at an all-inclusive, the length of stay may be easier on your bank account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can pay for food and drink packages beforehand. Even cruise lines have food and drink deals as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most resorts have an all-inclusive. Check the resort website for food, drinks, and more before booking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you get an Airbnb, vacation home, or a resort with a kitchen, then you can prepare food while on your trip and save money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Seafood Market in Myrtle Beach, SC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tip:<\/strong> Research a local food market or grocery store in the area.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you have a plan for where to stay and the type of vacation you’re taking, it’s time to start saving and paying for that vacation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s Start a Savings Plan for the Family Vacation.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Plan a weekly savings.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Depending on how often you get paid from work, you want to save each time you get paid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, plan for a reasonable amount to automatically go into your savings every paycheck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip:<\/strong> set up a direct deposit of a small amount into a savings account for each paycheck. <\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t use the money in your savings if you want that relaxing vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plan your food budget, and cook at home.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a family, it can be overwhelming to save on food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then again, it’s not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut out online deliveries, dine at restaurants, or pick up takeouts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is where all of your money is going. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know you’re tired from working all day, so getting something quick to eat is easier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it’s just as easy for your money to quickly disappear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Plan your food budget at the grocery store for the week or longer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything you want to eat at the restaurant can be made at home with the right ingredients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip:<\/strong> I love using Pinterest to find recipes and ideas for weekly food lists.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Save your money so you can get to that vacation sooner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, you can plan a perfect night out to dine at a local restaurant while on vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plan to reduce your monthly bills.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s the simple things like reducing the use of your utility bills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can switch off the lights or use a timer away from home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unplug electronic devices while it’s not being used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep the temperatures on the air conditioner or heat system according to the recommended setting advice from your utility company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plan to unsubscribe to unnecessary subscriptions.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want this vacation, you must cut back on unnecessary subscriptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A monthly subscription to watch television is an average of $6, and yearly, it will be $72. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s for one subscription, so I hope you only have one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip:<\/strong> add up all the subscriptions you pay for every month and times that by 12.<\/em> <\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s how much you pay a year and how much you could save for your vacation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So? Which subscription has to go? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plan your shopping and avoid impulse buying.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
pexels-cup-of-couple-6956912<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is a bad habit and why your bank account becomes drained quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shop on Amazon for one item, and now you purchased five items. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You go into the grocery store, and the same thing happens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’re buying things you don’t need and not saving for the vacation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t let the shopping habits take over, and don’t spend what you don’t have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip:<\/strong> list things you need, and only get those items. Write your list on your phone notes section to keep with you. And look for cheaper items or deals when shopping.<\/em> <\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You do want to go on this vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use some help to achieve your goal and stay on track.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you stick to the budget and save, you will get on that dream vacation with your family and make beautiful memories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you need more help to stay on track, use a digital budgeting sheet and a planner to help you save. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While on vacation, use a travel itinerary to keep you on track with your plans and save you money and time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
