It would take more than a pair of hands to count the number of friends and acquaintances who say that the key to achieving the most memorable vacations is by splurging.

Do not believe the hype.

Their definition of splurging, I imagine, is making that jump from one scoop of icecream to two; buying a tv the size of a buick on a whim. It’s nice to exercise this style of reckless spending, only if your finances allow it.

But then where’s the fun, the excitement?

It’s all in the confidence in knowing that a particular purchase won’t have you cutting corners or starving further down the road; its about having a plan.

Save to splurge.

A good guideline to go by is, first, create a well-planned guesstimate as to how much your vacations might set you back. Multiply that number by 2 and now you have a solid financial goal to reach before you take that trip.

Once that exact number is in your bank account, you can blow half of it on the vacation and keep the other half invested. The idea behind this method can elevate your travels from sporadic to something of a trend.

For every dollar you’ll spend on travel, you’ll have another stowed away for the next.

The idea, in theory, sounds too good to be true and for anyone that has ever traveled, unforeseen expenses, it is. But a word of advice…

Stay optimistic.
