Want to travel the world for a while? Or just take an epic vacation? You don’t need to be rich, but you’ll need to get creative about saving money for travel. There’s a popular myth floating around that travel is an expensive hobby. “Certainly people who travel a lot must have rich parents, lucrative lottery winnings, or work high paying jobs… right? Normal people can’t afford to travel! It’s far too expensive for the rest of us… ”
We understand how important travelling is, not just to develop oneself as a person but also to break from the shackles of the mundane life. Keeping that in mind, WanderTrust is here to help you out with saving your money for all your travel plans. So, here we go :
Be financially responsible
Money management is a learned skill – but most of us don’t master the basics until we’re adults — if ever. If you want to save money for travel, now is a good time to revisit those basics, and maybe iron out a few of those bad financial habits we all acquire along the way. You are making a significant long-term commitment that’s sometimes going to be really hard to stick to. Saving up enough money for travel, or anything for that matter, is tough on the soul and demands sacrifice, which is why so few people succeed. The right mindset is everything ! And once you are ready, you have a surprise travel company like us to judiciously use that money for a perfect travel experience .
Be an expense tracker
Money itself isn’t stressful. Neither is effective money management. Not knowing what your money is doing? Being afraid to check your bank balance? That’s where all the stress happens. Put aside a day this weekend and go through all your accounts to find out EXACTLY what your finances look like. Tracking expenses is an important part of learning where you can cut back, or even eliminate your spending, otherwise you’re simply going to end up like this –
Be a budget planner
There are two types of budgeting you need to do here. The first is budgeting your trip. The second is budgeting your life. If you choose wisely, your accommodation can cost next to nothing. Cheap flights can be easy to find. You’ve got 16 months before you leave? Great! Your monthly savings goal is 1/16th of that total – and you need to budget successfully to put that amount aside every month, more or less, until you hit your target. When travelling with WanderTrust, you don’t even need to take care of the intricacies of a trip. We plan it all for you- right from your mode of travel to your accommodation, all curated for the cheapest travel.
Make more money
Everyone wants to earn more money, right? Well, it doesn’t grow on trees, but there are opportunities, even if you already have a full-time job. Find part-time work on the side. Monetise your skills. It doesn’t need to be an amazing job! Just something to boost your income. Do some research, and figure out what kinds of part-time positions match your skillset & talents. Remember,
Sky is the limit !
Apart from times when we are actually “bankrupt”, money is usually a factor when we are planning for a long weekend of relaxation or when you planned it last minute but the flight tickets and the hotels are way too costly. These are the times when you can safely rely upon WanderTrust to plan the best and cheapest travel for you, totally hassle-free.
Well, what are you waiting for then ? Get up and go out there !
