Save Money This Summer with a “Nearcation”
Summer vacation is usually the biggest summer expense, and can often make summer budgeting difficult. When you take into account the cost of travel, lodging, food, and activities at your destination, it can easily cost thousands of dollars.
A popular money saving alternative to vacationing that many people have tried is called a Staycation. A Staycation means you take days off from work and you spend your vacation days relaxing at home. This can be a rejuvinating experience for many people; however, for others it can become dull after just a day or two.
A Nearcation is a healthy compromise between a vacation and a Staycation. This simply means that you enjoy your vacation time somewhere that is not far from home, but a little too far for regular (daily) visitation. The general rule of thumb for a Nearcation is anywhere one to three hours away from home, so that if you needed to spend a night at home it's still an option.
This is a great way to enjoy your summer vacation days, while keeping your expenses low. If you plan ahead with friends or family members you could all enjoy your Nearcation together.
7 Money Saving Tips This Summer
1. Create your spending budget for the season
The summer is a great time to get out and enjoy life with fun activities, friends, food, cocktails, and luxury. Summer is all about having fun, which means it's easy to get carried away. Come up with a spending plan and budget for this summer to help you save money. Write down activities you would like to do, and look for cheaper ways to experience them. You can also look for areas you can cut spending during the summer months, so you will have more funds available for the activities you would like to do.
2. Find free activities to enjoy
Did you know that there are free activities happening all around you throughout the summer? With so many fun activities available throughout the summer months it's easy to waste money on unplanned expenses and a little bit of planning could go a long way to help you save a little money. Keep an eye out for events posted on the Mesa County Library website (or your nearest library), and events posted on local community websites like visitgrandjunction.com.
3. Cut down on “Camp” costs
Many adults work during the summer days, and Summer Camp is a widely utilized child care option. However, carefully considering the costs of Summer Camp can help you save money. There are many cost-effective public-run camps with affordable and income based fees offered by local parks and recreations organizations. Careful planning could save your family hundreds of dollars this summer. Visit gjcity.org for more information.
4. Get your hands on discount passes
If you have a list of summer activities you would like to experience this summer, start researching for discounted passes. Museums, Zoos, Aquariums, and Amusement parks often offer reduced prices (and sometimes free admission) on certain days of the week or month. Your employer may also get special discounts on certain activities. If you're going to the movies, save some money by attending a matinee or midweek screening. These methods can save you up to 50% on your summer activities.
5. Be careful about committing to weddings
A recent Credit Karma survey found that the average 18-34 year old spends $770 to attend a wedding. June through September is the peak season for weddings, and it is absolutely critical to plan ahead for every single wedding you plan to attend. It's important to consider all of the potential costs of attending, including hotels, travel costs, and even food. Look for discounted rates and ways to save money on every expense. When it comes to buying their wedding gift, go through online portals to see if you can find savings or coupons for any items listed in their gift registry.
