正义的近义词
I’d love to get away. How do I save for a vacation?
You’re not alone. One study says 71% of Americans are planning to take a trip for leisure in 2022. And they’re planning on spending 29% more than they did pre-pandemic in 2019. But you don’t have to go broke (身无分文) to get a break. Before you even start planning your travel, here’s how to make the trip you’ve been waiting for a reality.
● Make a sinking fund. The funds are where you t aside money with an intention to spend it on a big goal.
● Timing is everything. Rearch the cheapest places to go when the temperature ris, and plan accordingly. You’ll also get more bang for your buck by checking out destinations with a favorable exchange rate. For somewhere further east, your dollars will go far in Thailand or the Philippines.
● Book smart. Renting a home is often a better deal than booking a hotel. Not only will you save on the price tag, but you can cook instead of eating out for every meal.
How do I keep saving while I’m on vacation?
True story: travel doesn’t feel like real life, so it’s easier to splurge (挥霍). And if you’re visiting a popular tourist location, everything costs more. Here’s how to e the sights without losing sight of your budget.
● Set a daily spending limit and track what you buy to avoid overdoing it. Using cash or a
prepaid debit card instead of a credit card can also help.
● Food is a money vampire. If you have access to a kitchen where you’re staying, make breakfast, pack lunch, and cook dinner when you can. If not, hit up a supermarket or farmer’s market for an easy, cheap breakfast. And when you do eat out, go for lunch or appetizers, where the menu items tend to be less expensive.
