We all enjoy going on holiday, but we all know how hard it can be to afford to pay for the holiday. Here at Cash Genie we offer five of the best ways to save
and pay for your dream holiday.
1. Book your holiday early…
Booking your holiday early is a great way to save money, as it allows flexibility in your choice of flight and you get the first pick of the cheapest seats. Most travel agents suggest booking your flight up to 11 months before your intended travel destination to be the most cost effective and it also ensures your place on the flight.
2. … Or book your holiday late
Alternatively, booking late is also a good way to save money. With flight dates approaching and seats left unsold most airline providers will slash their prices in the hope of selling out. Your choice of destination may be a bit restricted with this method but if you’re not that bothered about where you go this is a good option to consider.
3. Let the current economic climate dictate your place of travel
With the economy still fragile seeing where your money will be most valuable is a smart way of choosing your holiday destination. The Pound is performing well against the Dollar so trips to America will be cheaper than usual and will give you more spending money. On the other hand, the Pound is performing weakly against the Euro at the moment so trips to mainland Europe will be costlier.
4. Set up a Savings Account
For those of you where saving isn’t a strong suit setting up a savings account is a sure-fire way of financing your holiday. By setting up a direct debit account to divert a portion of your wages every month in to a savings account you can sit back and watch your holiday fund grow. This method does require some self-restraint to stop dipping in to the account but this is an easy method of saving money.
5. Stay at home.
A truly cost effective way of saving for your summer holiday is to not go abroad, cutting out the costs of travel insurance, booking holidays, and booking flights. Travelling around the country to the many coastal resorts around the United Kingdom may appeal to you. Or if you are looking for a peaceful vacation visiting the Snowdonia Mountains or the Peak District may whet your appetite and be the ultimate holiday for you.
Summer with Cash Genie!
Tuesday, June 15th, 2010After months and months of wind, rain and snow we are finally entering the summer months and we will soon be enjoying the heat wave that comes with it. Summer is arguably the best time of the year, with the sun, warm weather and the chance to spend more time out in the open socialising it’s almost impossible to not be in a good mood in this season.
Now that summer is here we can all begin to disperse to the beaches to soak up the sun and top up our tans; socialise late in to the night with friends and family at gatherings and barbecues, and we can now begin to buy summer clothes and put away the coats, scarves and jumpers that we’ve been forced in to wearing throughout the cold snap.
Don’t be worried about the burden that your finances may be stretched during these months as Cash Genie will still be around to supply you with a financial top up if your funds run low until your next payday. With short term loans ranging from £75-£750 you can be safe in the knowledge that you’ll be able to pay any expenses that occur during these crazy next few months basked in the sun! However, we do stress that you should not see Cash Genie as a long-term solution to your finances.
Cash Genie hopes you enjoy your summer!
