How You're Ruining Summer Vacation

WTH April? Summer isn’t even here yet.

I know, but you are ruining it. At least future you is.

Grab your vacation expense tracker here.

So, how are you, the organizer of trips, the lover of time-off, the expert of itineraries..ruining vacations?

I’m so glad you asked!

If you are stressing, over-analyzing, overwhelmed & overspending you are running Summer Vacation because you aren’t there. Your mind is worrying about paying of the debt racked up on this trip, you heart is breaking for the sacrifices you will have to make in the future and your head is pounding from the stress of it all.

This should be a time to get away from it all. Spend time with family, or with a good glass of wine and a book. But if you can’t focus on that, WHY are you there?

Tell future you that you are taking over. Starting NOW.

Figure out how much you want to spend on vacation, divide that by how many months until you take your get-away and put that dollar amount aside each month.

Vacation total = $1500/ 6 months = $250 a month or $8.33 a day.

This is a TOTALLY DO-ABLE.

If $8 a day is not something you can set aside, then we need to talk. Email me NOW.

Otherwise, be a Money Boss and tell future you that you “got this”.
