Want an Extra Holiday? Here are 5 Ways to Pay for It

Whether you’ve walked past a travel agent, seen an advert online or on television, or in a travel brochure, there are so many amazing places in this world to see just waiting for you to explore. Whether you’re looking for adventure or you’re in the mood to take a break from your day to day life to kick back and relax, perhaps a holiday is needed.

However, most of us live on tight enough of a budget as it is, so these holidays are simply out of the question. They simply don’t fit the budget… or do they? Today, we’re going to explore five ways you can save enough money to pay for it!

  1. Savings!

Of course, the best way to pay for a vacation is simply to save up as much as you can! If you put away $150 per month, you’ll have $1,500 for a holiday in just ten months. You’ve just got to be strict with yourself and make sure you put the money away as soon as you get paid.

Yes, you’ll probably have to cut back on some of life’s luxuries during this time, but when you’ve got your feet up on some sunny beach in a tropical part of the world drinking cocktails, it’s going to be very worthwhile.

  1. Get a Loan

If you’re desperate to get away as soon as possible, you could always take out a small loan or credit card to pay for your holiday. While this really isn’t recommended if you don’t think you can pay it back, you could combine these first two suggestions and pay half on your savings and half a loan and pay the rest back over the next few months!

  1. Get a Second Job

If your income doesn’t allow you to have enough money to pay for a holiday, why not take on a second job, even if it’s just until you get enough for your holiday? There are plenty of ways to make extra money, whether that’s carrying out small jobs for people online, taking up a part-time job in the hours you’re not working, or even washing people’s cars!

  1. Win a Competition

Of course, this isn’t a way you can guarantee you’re going to get a holiday, but it’s well worth trying since you’ll have nothing to lose! Go online or look in your favorite magazines and look for as many holiday competitions as you possibly can and enter them all! If you keep doing this for as long as you have the willpower too, you never know when you’re going to strike lucky!

  1. Sell Unwanted Belongings

The chances are you’re not going to have enough stuff laying around to sell for a holiday, but selling things you don’t really need anymore can give you a large chunk of money to put towards a holiday. Whether you then save for the rest, get a small loan, or take up a job, this can be a worthwhile approach to get you more cash!

Summary

As you can see, there are plenty of ways you can save and acquire money to help you pay for a holiday or vacation! Mark this day as the beginning of your journey and you’ll thank yourself immeasurably in the future when you’re relaxing and feeling great!
