Vacation. A time to be carefree. A time to leave structure and stress behind. A time to live-it-up. And for many, a time to go broke. The only adulting we want to do on vacay is adult beverages.

Two: Use one debit card and one debit card only to keep track of all your incidental spending. Three: If you didn’t save up for vacation, then set up an aggressive post-vacation plan to pay it off as soon as possible. Bottoms up! Just don’t hit rock bottom… Comments are closed.
