It’s vacation planning time! We’ve talked about Airbnb scams, but now we’ll touch on how to financially plan a vacation and not ruin it. We’ll be talking about one of the greatest planned travel experiences, the 1947 Kon-Titi raft trip by Thor Heyerdal from Peru to Polynesia.
- Make a plan on how you will pay for this trip before you leave.
- If you have to put it on a credit card, initially, plan how to pay it off quickly while incurring a minimum amount of interest.
- If going abroad, download and app for currency conversion.
- Match your budget to your personalities.
- Search the internet widely for deals on air, hotels and rent-a-cars. (See our Airbnb podcast).
- Use Google and other sites for discount meals while you travel.
Moral: Planning smartly and not emotionally can help you enjoy your vacation.
