Let’s be honest here. In most cases, our dream vacation may not quite fit into our financial possibilities. But with persistent determination, diligence and discipline, your dream vacation could be much closer than you may think! Here are 3 easy steps to your dream vacation.
Join a Home exchange program. If you want a dream vacation, then the truth is you simply cannot get any better than free! With home exchange programs, you will be allowed to swap homes with other home-owners in your dream vacation destination. In other words, you can save on costs of accommodations. There are several excellent home exchange websites that provide great information about swapping homes. We recommend “Travel The Home Exchange Way” and “Know Your Trade” . There is no better way to fast forward to a dream vacation!
Put your credit cards to work for you! As long as you are going to use one, why not let it work for you since just about everyone uses credit cards in one way or the other. A credit that allows you to accumulate credit-card miles is what you should try to get and you should be able to use it for free travel awards, travel upgrades and many other luxuries you may otherwise have to dish out large sums of cash for. First, you need to find out if your current credit card offers any travel rewards before you make your next charge. If not, then it’s time for you to switch. A lot of credit cards out there award airline miles, cruise vacation points or hotel points.
Caution. Making unnecessary charges on these travel award cards merely to get a free airline ticket should be avoided. Use the travel reward cards to pay for necessary expenses! Using the card to make purchases you would have made with cash is the trick here. Then, every month, you can pay off the card to a zero balance. You have made a purchase you would have made with cash anyway and you are piling up points toward great travel awards if you do this.
You should liquidate unnecessary assets. Now, you finally have free accommodations and a free airline ticket. Have you though about spending money? For most of us, there are actually stuff all around the house that we seldom or even never use. A better option is to sell it and use that cash as spending money on your dream vacation. By using Craigslist and Ebay to you sell stuff you no longer use or need, you can hold a virtual yard sale. Don’t forget that old saying: one man’s “junk” is another man’s “treasure.”
Follow these three easy steps and you may be enjoying your dream vacation much sooner than you think. It really is as easy as 1-2-3.
