Do you save for vacation?

i havent a vacation fund,i dont even think to spend my money jus for some vacation.it mybe caused in my family never did that too.my family habbit never go some place togheter to have some vacation.i don't know whhy my parent did that.sometime i'd like hang out with my family together.

I don't have a separate fund for vacation. But I do have a "saving" balance where the money is supposed used for special purposes. It could be for vacation but it could also for medial expenses or family uses. Some will say that I am saving not for a reason at all but then I would say having money sitting in the bank for not particular reason means I am more prepared for unexpected situations. Still, I am planning to use part of the saving for a nice vacation next year. Hope everything goes on smoothly.

I always fo for my annual vacation with whatever savings balance I ave in my Bankk balance.But I too felt last month that it would be great idea to have a substantial amount of money just for the purpose of the holidays and started a recurring deposit account on my name.Next year we are going to have a great holidays better than ever.

Yes, we do save money for a vacation. We place this on a special account that we have opened just especially for things like this. We usually deposit an amount every month for it. Its like a vacation and special treats account. So every time we decide to go, we use the money from that account.

I don't exactly have a specific fund, but I try to save a little every month. I just say about 100 dollars a month or 200, or whatever I can put aside for it with the idea it will be used for a vacation. It sounds good that you guys have it so well organized.

LOL you bet I do I specially put away money so I can go out and not waste my "bill money" and know my limitations and all that.

This is a good idea, that way when your vacation comes you won't have to run around wondering where you are going to get a big lump sum from, or making a huge whole in your account or savings! I do this all the time, I put away my birthday and Christmas money in an envelope marked for my next trip, whenever I win a lottery prize I put the money in the envelope and if I get a windfall or earn extra with the sites I do online I will cash out and put that away, it soon adds up! I need £320 for my trip in August, already I have £200. So even if I save no more I only have to find another £120 so there Im more than halfway there and 8 weeks left.

I go on vacations when I have free time to go. If i don't have money than I can go locally for shorter trip and rest at home. I don't hold my vacations. In general I like to safe money for whatever need, including vacations.

What I do is save all of my loose change and I put it aside. When that builds up my boyfriend and I will go on a nicer vacation. My parents did that when we were little...after 1 year of consistently putting out change in a bin we had over $1000. It was cool. So now I'm starting to do that.

I am saving up at the moment to go to Canada next summer. I hope to get a flight to Vancouver and then travel by train after seeing that to Seattle. Then I hope to catch a ferry over to Vancouver Island. Finally I hope to catch a train and bus up to the Canadian Rockies. I saved up for ages to go to New Zealand and bought a ticket with many stopovers. I was able to see more of lovely California as well as some amazing tropical islands. These were French Polynesia, the Cook Islands and Samoa. When I got home from that trip I knew I had overspent. Therefore my next trip was a few weeks in Croatia, Montenegro and Slovenia.

I'm a single mom and it is hard for me to save. What I do is save all my change all year long. I wouldn't call it a dream vacation but when summer comes, my daughter and I cash in all that change and do something special with it. There is usually enough to go away for a couple of days or sometimes we do a few little day trips.

Hi there Zeloguy. Both me and my girlfriend are full time students and we have a debit card with an interest of 9% (at the moment). We save as much as we can on it most of the year in order to be able to afford a good nice satisfying vacation that we deserve after a full year of school accomplishments. Last year we went in Greece for 10 days at the seaside and this year we are going to visit her sister and explore the country in England for 2 weeks.

I save the money for non-routine budget, including for vacation, if possible.

I need to go on a vacation every year. Even if it is just once a year. That is why I save up every month and set aside a small amount of money to be used at the end of the year for traveling. I am more willing to give up shopping for a month or two rather than forgo traveling if money is a bit tight for some specific months. I won't feel complete if I did not get to travel for a year.

No I don't have a vacation fund set aside me and my husband has never taken a vacation together. I have visited people bu never taken a real vacation. I would love to have a small one..something like a weekend away thing even but he is a fuddy Buddy and doesn't like being away from home.

Typically I'd try to mix business and pleasure, as such I'd find places to work as I'm on vacation and 'move in' for a while... I guess it's just that gypsy personality :)

Right now we are pretty much in survival mode around here. It is hard to imagine a day when we will have money left over. I indeed have alot of places I want to travel to and vacations that I want to take, but until I have enough money to pay all of my bills and have some left over, it is probably not going to be a real possisbility.

No,because there are many things that needed attention than saving for a vacation. In hard times like this vacation is not practical to do. I might get swine flu...just kidding.

We plan for a vacation and save for it. With our schedules, it is nearly impossible to do a spur of the moment vacation, even if we fall into some money. So we usually have our trip planned out almost six months to a year before we go. As for having a special fund? Well, the money I make online goes to my paypal account and i am saving that as my special vacation fund. It's not a huge amount, but right now it looks like by the time we go on our trip in October, I will have enough money there to take our family of four to at least one, maybe two nice meals. For me that's pretty cool.

Yes i do.. i do and my friends do that many times....last month we made a summer escapade to a beautiful island of Cebu! We really had a great vacation.
