How to save for travel
Tips + Methods
Let’s face it, sometimes we need a little extra push when we are trying to save for something that seems so far away. I would always save up a couple hundred dollars, but then I would go online and see things that I did not necessarily need but wanted. I told myself that I would replenish the money with my savings, did I? Of course not, I saw something else I wanted so I bought it and it became an endless cycle until I recently broke it with the tips I am about to share with you. If this sounds like you then you’ve come to the right place.
METHOD 1
The easiest saving money system that I have found for me personally has been a “1/3 system”. You will divide up savings into 3 ways:
Long term
- Big vacation
- Car
Short term
- Clothes
- Small vacation
- Car insurance
- Emergency car repair found
Everyday
- Food
- Transport
- Utilities
- Rent
- Having fun
METHOD 2
This method is going to give you a few different basic plans to choose from

Tips for saving
If you feel the urge to buy something or you want to buy something you have to remember that they are just things. Every time just think about it, ask yourself, “Should I buy this thing that is only temporary or should I continue to save for memories and experiences that will last a lifetime?
- Monitor your spending
A big factor in saving your money is making a budget or even just being aware of what you are spending is going to help you save.
- Stay obsessed with your goal
To stay motivated I’ve found that it is easier for me to stay obsessed with my savings goal.
- Delete/Unfollow shopping apps replace them with travel apps
The best way to decrease your impulsive shopping and to increase your wanderlust is to delete or unfollow shopping apps or pages. There are so many wonderful and helpful apps that will make you want to travel even more than you already do! If you have no self-control like me, trust me, this iss for the greater good.
Remember you can go wherever and as far as you want to in this life.
I hope it helped and if you want to ask more question or want to talk feel free to message me.
