Say NO- The Easy Way to Save For Vacation

Need some inspiration for easy ways to save for vacation? This one might seem obvious, but if it’s not at the front of your mind, you’ll miss out on a ton of savings.

The easiest way to save for vacation is to just say “no.” Specifically, say “no” to yourself!

Every time you tell yourself, “no” to spending money, take the money you would have spent and put it in your vacation fund.

For example, if you cook at home instead of running through a drive through, estimate what you would have spent on eating out and put that amount in savings instead (and go ahead and set up a separate savings account just for vacation).

When that “add to cart” button gets tempting, look at the total amount in your shopping cart, transfer that amount to savings, and then close your browser without purchasing.

Not only are you not spending the money to begin with, but you’re setting it aside specifically for vacation (which means it won’t be easily available to spend elsewhere).

Don’t forget to do this with all those little extras you turn down, too. Tempted to get a dessert with your fast food? Turn that down and throw a dollar in your vacation fund.
