If you are like so many other individuals, you have probably wanted to travel to a different country for a much-needed vacation. Of course, being like many other people, you probably lack the immediate funds to make that dream a reality. While it is true that most people do not have the type of money that a long holiday in a place far away requires, building a travel savings can be an easy thing to do.
Choosing to set up a “travel only” savings account is a great way to keep your money safe from being spent. To avoid making excuses for why you might have to put off donating to your travel savings, you could set up a direct deposit that puts whatever amount that you decide on straight into the account directly from your paycheck. By adding a small amount, say $50 or so, you can let that money add up one paycheck at a time. To add onto your savings account, setting up a sealed “travel jar” in your home where all family members can see and add to it can help you throw a little more money into the travel fund. Plus, it is a great way to involve the kids.
When you are planning a trip, finding the money to pay for it can feel overwhelming. One of the best ways to make a big vacation to a new place possible, without the stress, is to start a travel savings account. By adding to your travel fund regularly, whether in large or small increments, you can accumulate the money you need to take a great vacation.
