“Sometimes a break from your routine is all you need.”
Staycation– a vacation taken near your home or at home rather than another place. It’s an alternative to a vacation.
Sometimes all you need is 2-3 days away to recharge, regroup, and to be refreshed. Everyone needs it. I encourage you to plan for a staycation before the year ends. You don’t have to break the bank to take a staycation.
Here are a few ways you can take a staycation on a budget.
📍Set a budget:
Determine how much money you are able to spend for your staycation.
📍Save in advance:
Set aside funds with a sinking fund.
📍Find a location:
Look for a location 1-2hrs away from you.
📍Lodging:
Stay in an Airbnb or a Rental.
📍Booking:
Book during the week if possible, rates are usually lower.
📍Duration:
Stay for 2-3 days.
📍Reduce the cost:
Split the cost with a friend if you choose. Don’t forget to look for discount codes.
📍Cash is key:
Use cash for food, gas, and entertainment purchases.
📍Activities:
Enjoy free activities. Bring a book, card game, or journal with you during your stay.
📍Meals:
Meal prep if you choose. If not, set funds aside for meals.
📍Clothes:
Wear the clothes you already have to reduce the cost. If you choose to buy new clothes set a budget and don’t go overboard.
