How to budget for vacation || 2 METHODS to avoid debt + tips to reduce travel costs

[@belle4978]

I was just talking to a friend of mine about the importance to not go into DEBT for travels because actually many people fall into that trap. Your advice were great, I will say for me as a single lady, fully employed, I put away 10 to 12% percent of my monthly paycheck (an amount that is reasonable for me) into a high yield savings account, I decide to add money on it more certain months. By doing this, when I want to book a flight or hotel, I usually have at least 90% percent of the costs covered and I spend the rest on my travel credit card. I have seen twelve countries so far and I never stress on my return home. It's all about consistency and discipline.

For me I pay for stuff in advance . I will pay for hotels rentals and get advance tickets. GROUPON IS MY BESTIE. If I want to book a spa or take my kiddos with me.

Love you finance videos! Could you do them more often than monthly starting from basic savings to travel and luxury.

[@s.lashun5718]

Looks really good! Do you have a video with how to crochet for a look with bangs?

[@BrynnD]

I love this. It’s basically like treating yourself. I need more deets on the Southwest Airlines credit card.

When seeking a travel card what advice would you give to individuals who already have a very long history with what they consider “enough” cards? Should they add another card to their history or should they work with their current cards to see what can be done?

[@ashleyturner4483]

Great video, good tips to know, to help me plan a real vacation in the far off future. Not sure if you have any videos on how to get out of debt and rebuild your credit from the bottom up. Also, is it better to pay off collection debts or not. I have seen so many mixed information online. I'm not sure. Thank you.

[@irenewillis2969]

[@nanadoctrove5590]

Only downsize for me my anniversary falls during spring break & Easter .. and prices go up during spring break, so I have to learn to be more flexible

[@itskaylanichole]

Very informative!! Could you do a video on a break down of Traditional IRA vs. Roth IRA? I’m 23 and not really sure which one is better.

[@cortillusshivers]

Thank you so much . Can you do a video on using credit cards to increase credit score ?

[@patriciajenkins9458]

Hello Alicia excellent information. Thanks for sharing 💜

[@ClariseAmanda]

Thanks Alicia this is so helpful❤

[@mdeas2u]

Great video!

[@Jerica0]

Can you do an in-depth video on when it makes sense to get the travel credit cards? I feel like the annual fees are too much, plus the amount of points I was collecting on purchases wasn’t adding up quickly enough to do anything so I don’t even use the card anymore 😫

[@AliciaGettys]

I can definitely put that on the next finance video!

[@tarvera1]

Very helpful, thank! I'm gonna try this advice

[@nanadoctrove5590]

[@lindaperson382]

[@classyfive1020]

Very informative!! I didn’t know about the Google Alert, and didn’t think about the travel credit card either🥴Do you know much about the Costco credit card? I’m wondering if I should have the travel card instead since you have enlightened me. I love watching you😊

[@budgetingsoldiergirl1826]

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@scabrera]

I definitely enjoy all your videos and this one is very informative for me, especially since I'm trying to figure out how to travel with my children on a budget and know how to go about finding deals. So yes, this was a good video. Short and to the point. Thank you.

[@enjoyinglife8491]

[@simplyliving_withrenee]

Appreciate this!!!!

[@VeronicaVsKids]

Hey I saw you talking about your credit journey before and I know you said to try and find more ways to bring in more income, but after I get my credit report, what is the next step i should do in fixing and rebuilding my credit ?

[@KLC777]

Nice video! We save 100% for the trip before taking it. Also take advantage of these credit card promotions for free money and pay the card off immediately. The "budget determines the destination" works best for us. Thanks for the video.

[@justmo2023]

❤❤

[@ACQC]

Thanks, great suggestions. Random and crazy question....I'm deathly afraid of cats...don't ask me why and yes, I realize it's totally illogical 😂 Anywho, I want to travel to Greece but have heard that stray cats are everywhere there....restaurants, hotels, markets. Any thoughts based on your travels to Greece?

[@alwayskrazy]

They are everywhere!! Not like in a pack or whatever but you go one place there is a couple of cats, eating outside a cat will just come up to the table because they are used be being fed…So if it is really a big deal for you…I would skip it.

One thing I’d love to hear more about is what financial decisions to make when you went from making $10-15/hr to $75,000 salary job.

[@rochelleadams2236]

Great video with great content! You ever heard of Affirm? Used it with Priceline it was helpful.
