Today, we continued our budgeting series. Vacations can be so expensive but they don't have to be. A little bit of for thought can save you heaps of money while still having a great time with your family. We wanted to do this episode early in the season because the most important part of budgeting for vacation is starting with a plan early. If you wait until the last minute it is much harder to stay within your budget.

Have you heard the other episodes in this series? If you're looking for ways to save money, we have done episode on most topics. You can listen to them all by searching "budgeting" on our website. You can catch a few of our most recent ones HERE and HERE.

We were so thankful for the nice review.
