hi everyone, i'm planning on going to Disneyland in September and possibly Disney World in November/December...how do you all save for your trips? am i crazy?
i am a college graduate with loans so i have to budget wisely!
This was me in 1990! but worse!
The day after my last day of school, Sept 1st, a classmate and I left for a 14 night Perillo tour of Italy. (Thanks to a sign on bonus of employment granted to us while we were students.)
That was our "Thank God We're Done School" trip.
Then 4 months later, Jan, a different classmate and I spent 7 nts in Cancun (way before the Girls Gone Wild days. Nice beach, nice nightlife.)
Then 2 months later, March, we went back to Cancun.
Then 5 months later, Aug, back to Cancun.
Then the next March, back to Cancun. By then I was dating dh and was going to miss his birthday. Sorry Baby, I got travelin' bones.
The next March back to Cancun again. By then it was getting really popular and we had enough.
1.5 years later, married dh. (Prior to that, I squeezed in trips with dh to Williamsburg, Disney Word & Aruba.)
For our honeymoon, we did 12 night trip to Ireland.
From there it just goes on and on.
Enjoy being young with minimal responsibility. Don't drag your student loans out but still have fun.
It's nice being married with kids, house, spouse, etc but much less discretionary income then.
I have zero regrets of any vacation I've taken. Life is short.
