With tax season ending and spring beginning, many of us are thinking about one thing: summer vacation.
This is the perfect time of year to take a break and recharge your internal batteries, but it can also be a killer on your bank account. What should be a relaxing escape can turn into a long-term debt you spend the rest of the year paying off.
Good money management can help people properly plan a trip. Unfortunately, many of us don't naturally have those skills.
While most people start their vacation savings plan with thoughts of paying off debt, it's sometimes difficult knowing where to begin. Cutting back on spending is another wise move, but surprise expenses invariably hit each month. These aren't necessarily major bills, but small necessities that force us to dip into our reserve funds, and when added together leave us—once again—breaking even or over-spending.
