How can I budget all year for our family trip to the beach every summer?
Is using credit cards, even if you fully pay them off monthly, a good idea to help build credit?
What do you think is a reasonable amount of money to spend on yearly vacations?
My sister lives in England and I would really like to take my daughter over to see her aunt. The plane tickets are quite expensive all at once.. (around 2000 dollars). Any tips or tricks to come up with that money all at once, or is there a way I can pay for the tickets over time? How would you go about paying for the tickets?
I think this is a great question. I always seem to spend way too much.

Quoting bubsteroni:
Is it worth the cost of purchasing trip insurance when purchasing airline tickets, etc.?
IMO I dont buy it if the tickets are cheap and Im happy to lose $100 bucks if I have to pay $30 bucks for travel insurance that is only going to be good for the tickets.
JOB!!!
