Save for a Honeymoon

The thrill of planning a honeymoon can be dampened by the rising cost of airfare and the weakening of the dollar. But there’s no need to go into debt to pay for that once-in-a-lifetime trip. Instead, making small adjustments to your day-to-say spending can help secure extra cash just in time for your big splurge.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Willpower
  1. Step 1

    Go grocery shopping instead of eating out. Making your own meals significantly reduces the cost of sustenance and helps with portion control.

  2. Step 2

    Rather than meeting friends for happy hour, host a wine tasting party in which each guest brings a bottle or a munchie.

  3. Step 3

    Borrow books and movies from the library instead of purchasing.

  4. Step 4

    If you’re a caffeine fiend, make your own coffee in the morning.

  5. Step 5

    Carry a water bottle and small snack with you at all times to limit trips to the vending machine.

  6. Step 6

    Forgo indulgences you can do yourself such as facials and manicures.

  7. Step 7

    Turn off all lights and electrical appliances when not in use.

Tips & Warnings
  • Saving pocket change may not seem like the ticket to an all-inclusive honeymoon, but every penny saved brings you that much closer.
  • Consider adding a “honey fund” to your wedding gift registry which allows guests to contribute to specific portions of your planned trip.
  • It’s far easier to spend than it is to save. Start putting money aside for the honeymoon as early as possible.
