Dreaming of an incredible getaway but don't want to fund it through debt? With focused effort, you can save up enough in cash for a special vacation within just three months.
First, estimate your likely vacation costs - transportation, lodging, food, activities, etc - and set that as your 90 day savings goal. Open a separate high yield savings account to store the funds, resisting any temptation to tap it for other expenditures.
Analyze your current discretionary spending to identity wastefulness to trim back. Pack your lunch instead of takeout, host dinner parties rather than going out to restaurants, or temporarily minimize shopping budgets. Automatically route these savings into your vacation fund weekly.
You can also pick up side gigs - pet sit, tutor, drive ride share, take surveys - and direct all extra earnings straight towards vacation savings too. Ask for overtime hours at work or find a one-time freelance client in your field of expertise to top up the account faster.
In 90 focused days, you should amass enough funds to pay for a great getaway completely in cash. Enjoy your trip even more knowing it’s fully pre-paid rather than going into debt for the experience!
