love to travel but a major excuse they give for abandoning their travel ambition
is that they do not have enough money. The truth is money will always be a
problem.
This said if you are one of those who loves to travel and money
is a problem, Jumia Travel shares creative ways you can save money for
travelling without incurring debt.
Research your
destination
Without research, you won’t know the amount you require to
travel. It’s worthwhile to dig up everything about your destination so that
nothing will catch you by surprise. Ask friends and family who have travelled to
your destination about the cost of accommodation, airfare and
activities.
Open a dedicated travel bank account
One easy way
to save for a getaway is to open a dedicated vacation savings account. You can
set up automatic payments into the account and, with a little restraint, leave
that money there until it’s time for your trip.
Look for other sources
of income
You may need to do a side job outside your regular or everyday
job to earn more money. This will help boost your travel savings.
Save
daily
If you spend money to eat every day, there is really no excuse for
not saving daily. So, try as much as possible to save every day. To pull this
off, you just have to be mindful about your everyday purchases.
Have a
budget
Besides saving money for your dream getaway, there are other
responsibilities that will definitely come up.To meet with both, you will need a
budget. So, prepare a budget, determine how much you want to save for your
travel and do not forget to set spending boundaries.
