Business Spotlight
ltrs not too late to plan a summer vacation
By Courtney Jespersen I NerdWallet
avoid potentially high fees at
airport kiosks.
Make short-term sacrifices
Regardless of where you
go, you’ll need the means to
get there. But even if your
vacation savings aren’t fully
funded right now, you can
build them up quickly. You
already know what your goal
is; now you just have to put in
the work to make it happen.
“If you’d like to set aside a
little more for your vacation,
consider your spending in
other areas of the budget and
see if there are places to cut
back slightly over the next
three months,” Theresa C.
Wan, certified financial plan-
ner, chartered financial ana-
lyst, and the principal of Tree-
sa Financial Planning LLC in
New Jersey, says in an email.
“For example, eating out once
a week instead of twice a
week, buying $1 coffees in-
stead of $4 lattes.”
For family vacations, Wan
says last-minute sacrifices can
function as an educational
tool to help children learn
how to delay gratification.
They might give up ice cream
tonight if it means going to
Disneyland in a few months.
Splurge on priorities,
save on the rest
Finally, keep in mind that
there’s no right or wrong way
to take a trip. Splurge on what
you care about most and cut
back on everything else. If you
can’t afford room service every
night, that’s OK. The little deli
down the street from your
hotel will suffice.
Another way to save is to
rent a home, as opposed to
booking several hotel rooms.
“Especially with group travel,
having a kitchen and dining
area can make a big difference
to your trip’s budget,” says Lau-
rel Greatrix, a spokesperson for
TripAdvisor Rentals.
And remember that some-
The school year is winding
down and temperatures are
warming up. That can only
mean one thing: summer
vacation. But as you glance
between browser tabs — from
the beach picture you book-
marked on that travel site to
your bank balance — a sum-
mer getaway suddenly begins
to feel worlds away.
Your dreams of sunshine
don’t have to be dashed,
though. If you’re willing to be
flexible, it’s not too late to plan
a summer getaway that’s with-
in your family’s budget.
Base your destination
on your budget
Sure, you probably won’t
be able to save up enough
between now and August to
book a two-week stay at a
five-star hotel for your family
of four, but that doesn’t mean
you have to give up on a trip
altogether.
You’ll just have to make
some adjustments. For in-
stance, stay closer to home
instead of leaving the state. Or,
if you have your heart set on
traveling abroad, consider a
destination where your money
will be more valuable.
It’s important to keep ex-
change rates in mind when
traveling internationally, ac-
cording to Andrew Marshall,
an independent financial
planner and principal of An-
drew Marshall Financial in
California.
“That’s the way I do it,” he
says. “I look and see where my
dollars will go the furthest, and
then from the top countries, I
would narrow it down to places
I really want to go to.”
It’s better to research the
rate before you book instead
of vice versa. Websites and
apps such as XE Currency
provide exchange rates so you
know how much your money
will be worth overseas. And
see if your bank offers cur-
rency exchange so you can
jf!

times cheap travel comes to
those who wait. This can
apply to hotels as well as air-
fare. Wan recommends check-
ing travel sites often for last-
minute deals. She recalls one
client who jumped on a deal
to Vietnam for the following
week. She says the family of
four had a great time at an
“unbeatable price.”
