We do all the above throughout the weeks and months and then treat ourselves to an all out dinner for special occasions without worrying about the price. I do plan vacations similarly to you. I work out most of the details and research several food options of different genres so we can somewhat follow our cravings when we get there.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08595095769202251382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794253925690899496.post-68979163347858631112010-08-17T09:57:06.133-07:002010-08-17T09:57:06.133-07:00I research every detail of my trip first to come u...I research every detail of my trip first to come up with a grand total, then added several hundred bucks as a worst case scenario. Then, I set aside that amount while still committing to my savings plan, no matter how long it takes to reach that amount. Then, I can spend my money on the vacation guilt free because I know that I didn't splurge on the trip as my savings plan is still on track. This works for an expensive meal too. Toshiro and I like to go gourmet sometimes and it costs about 100-200 bucks a person, but we've saved up for it over a few weeks, so we don't feel guilty or have sticker shock. =PTPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03829323835795054313noreply@blogger.com
