Savings

Holidays are already a big investment, especially when you go with your family.

Going on vacation without planning is sure to risk exceeding your budget , since we don't know exactly what we're going to spend and what we're going to spend it on.

Besides, with all the temptations around us, we can very quickly have a deficit of 200 or 300€ on his account.

It is sure that organizing your stay requires a few hours of work, but when you want to have fun with your budget, however small it may be, I assure you that this is THE good plan to leave winning your holidays.

I have become an expert in the matter:every time I go on vacation, I never exceed my budget. It even happened to me to spend less than the budget that was planned.

And you, are you making a budget for going on vacation? Does it work for you?
