sure to set aside some money for yourself – always pay yourself. 10% of your income is a good start and you can put it in a high interest savings account and use it for your family vacation.
not only should you budget to figure out what type of vacation you can afford, but set up a budget for your actual vacation. you should have an idea of how much your vacation will cost you before it actually happens.
trim down on your spending. when you have your budget laid out before you, you can actually see where your money goes and in turn figure out the best places to cut back.
