This year, why not plan so when summer rolls around you’re ready for a much-deserved rest. Take a look as our very own Len Hayduchok weighs in with other experts:
“12 Doable Changes You Can Make This Year To Save For An Amazing Vacation”
“There are plenty of reasons to save money, but a big vacation is arguably the most exciting incentive. After all, “I’d love to travel more” is one of those New Year resolutions pretty much everyone makes.
We usually start out with a decent budgeting effort (hello, Dry January), but as the year rolls on, our spending inevitably becomes harder and harder to keep in check. To make sure that you’re able to make a healthy contribution to your travel fund every month, we’ve tapped two budgeting experts to devise a 12-month saving plan that’s super easy to follow. Each month, you’ll be challenged to give up or change an everyday habit, and we’ve provided rough estimates on how much extra savings can go towards your planned journey, whether it’s an epic Eurotrip or backpacking jaunt through Southeast Asia.”
“Find out how you can save up for the most amazing vacation, ever. Trust us: The delayed gratification of a nice hotel or a fancy meal while you’re away — because you’ve been frugal all year — is the sweetest feeling.”
Do A Home Purge
March is time for spring cleaning and getting your Marie Kondo on. Get rid of junk that no longer bring joy to your household — from used furniture to spare electronics — on Letgo and Wallapop, two online marketplaces for virtual garage sales. To quickly simplify your wardrobe, offload your clothing and accessories at your local thrift stores. Resale chains such as Buffalo Exchange and Beacon’s Closet will offer you cash up front.
