Question of the Week

Question of the Week: Are you planning on going on vacation in 2011? Are you saving up already?



My answer:    Absolutely! I start saving for summer vacation immediately after the previous year's summer vacation.  I've actually paid for our last three summer vacations with money that I have earned online.  Enjoying a FREE summer vacation is always fantastic!

My BFF is getting married in August in Cali. We will be heading there and making a week of it with some time in Napa as well. So excited. We have started to save a little bit, but have always tried to budget in a trip each year.
