How to save for this coming Spring Break

26 Dec How to save for this coming Spring Break

Whatever your vacations plans are, saving
money is universal. No matter where you go, you can always keep from
overspending. Here’s how:

• Pay attention to bank fees if you travel outside the
  country. Banks can charge you extra for a host of things: when you pay
  over the phone, requesting an additional card, replacing your card if
  lost, and set-up fees. Call your bank to identify (or possibly negotiate)
  credit tripwires.
• Need an app to help you compare currency rates, or
  produce a packing list based on the weather? We’ve got you covered.
• Not afraid of mother nature? No problem! It sounds
  morbid and possibly a little heartless, but places recovering from natural
  disaster can sometimes offer cheaper rates for travel/room.
• Don’t buy stuff at the airport! Like movie theatres,
  snacks cost three times the price. Did you know the average Americans
  spends $27 on vending machines? That’s the same price as this pretty cool travel pillow* that holds your neck in an ergonomic position.
• If you travel, learn to be a good talker.
  Why is this important? It’s important because nobody knows the place you
  visit like those who call it home. Sure, you could scour the internet, and
  tally all the best yelp and google reviews. Or you could strike up a
  conversation with a local and get their expert opinion.

This blog could turn into a thousand-word essay on the many ways
you can save while traveling, but you get the point.

Baby Boomers can help you start a savings program for a future that’s worry free! Call one of our specialists today and find put how we can help you.

Pro tip: be sure to make sure your garage sale is even legal. They usually are, but the law sometimes requires a permit in case you’re selling items that are potentially unsafe.

Have a yard sale! In the world of budgeting, it’s a little like studying for your final exam by depriving yourself of a morning to cram in extra studying. Yard sales are typically good for a few hundred dollars as long as you know how to execute one the right way. What’s the right way? Early Saturdays work best near the 1st or 15th of the month, and because this is the internet era, make sure to boost your attendance by posting it online.

There are all sorts of ways to save money. The most essential is one we’re always talking about: budgeting. But if you haven’t already begun budgeting beforehand, budgeting won’t help (unless you were serious about those new years resolutions). So, we suck at money, which means we can’t have as much fun for vacation — fine; why am I still reading this blog then?

Well, maybe not you personally, but as a society, we’re just not very good. The summer is the time for us to unwind, get (half) naked, and spend more money than we typically do.

But let’s look at it another way. Could you ever afford your summer vacation to begin with? Not according to the Federal Reserve. According to their reports, only 1 in 5Americans report paying off their credit card debt in the last 12 months. 1in 5 Americans will go into debt to pay for their summer vacation. We pay more than we should when it comes to auto insurance, rent, and interest rates on credit cards. And even less can afford a $500 emergency expense.

In not so many words — we suck at money.
