Ep #26: Family Vacation and Recapping the Last Year

It’s summer time and it has been a long year so, for many of us, it’s time to take a bit of a break. In this episode, you will hear some tips on how to navigate the financial side of family vacations and how to save for future adventures with the fam. I will share some of my best tips for using credit cards, vacation rentals, and airline travel hacks.

I will discuss some of the best ways to save but also how people tend to use credit cards for travel and what to look out for when it comes to fees and more. Stay tuned until the end to hear a bit of a recap on what we’ve talked about on this season of Dads n’ Dollars. Some of the best episodes dealt with marriage, raising kids, blending families, real estate, divorce and more.

What You’ll Learn in Today’s Episode:

  • What summer break and vacation were like as a kid and how that affects my family now.

  • Why you need a bucket or goal to save for family vacations.

  • How to use credit cards to help with travel goals.

  • Avoiding devaluation and using credit cards for rewards.

Ideas Worth Sharing:

  • “Cheaper lodging, cheaper food, cheaper flights.. are great reasons to travel in the off-season. But they’re not the BEST reason. One is that it’s less crowded and more availability in nice places.” - Stanley Funches

  • “I love to get that variety when it comes to getting a vacation rental and be able to get more than one room and have access to a kitchen. A couple nights with access to a fridge and a kitchen can definitely help save on vacation costs.” - Stanley Funches
