Enjoying a family vacation does not have to cause a big financial problem. Here are some ideas that can help you spend a more affordable family vacation but with the same fun:
1. Go camping . Avoid the high prices of luxury hotels or resorts. Take the tent and reserve a place in a campsite that you all like and enjoy. For a few euros you will spend very pleasant days. You can also save on gasoline , since you will not need to move your car to get around if you are looking for a campsite with an unbeatable location.
2. Share vacations and expenses . You can find another family in your situation and rent together an apartment where you can spend those days in a quiet way. Food and beverage expenses can also be shared. A common fund will avoid problems when doing accounts.
3. Fewer vacation days . Younger children will not notice if the stay is three days or seven. Older children will surely be looking forward to coming home to enjoy the rest of their vacation with friends. A good planning of 4 or 5 days can make you enjoy the same and the best of all is that you will have to respond to less expenses.
4. Go saving throughout the year . After calculating all your monthly expenses (house, car, etc.), reserve a small monthly amount for future vacations. When the time comes to choose your vacation, take out those savings and check what you have.
5. Look for the best deals . Spend a lot of time searching for the best deal on the site you’ve finally decided to go to. Surely in agencies and on different Internet pages you will find different prices that can save you a considerable amount of money.
