Summer is right around the corner and we know how much some of you are looking forward to this year’s vacation. It may be to the local beach, an amusement park, or maybe you’re just flying back home to see your family and friends. Regardless of what kind of well deserved vacation you are taking this year, we have some last minute tips that will help you save a little extra money to put towards it. So, if you’re ready to check out these money saving tips and get started, go ahead and scroll down. It’ll be well worth your time!

Park Your Car

If you’re dead serious about taking your vacation and are short on money, park one of your vehicles. If you have two cars, park one until the end of summer and just use one car. This will save you a ton of money on gas and you could take off that car’s insurance and save even more. If you only have one car, consider commuting to work via bus or with a friend.

Sell Your Old Stuff

If you’re in a rush and have some old stuff sitting around that you’d be willing to part with, consider selling it for vacation funds. Put your Star Wars collection to good use or make a few bucks off of those old silver dollars you have. Deciding how important your vacation is may be tough but if you’re not getting any use out of some of your stuff, it’s time to sell it!

Recycle

We know that this one may not seem like it’ll amount to much but if your vacation is still a few months away, you can probably pay for your hotel for a night off of the money you’d make by recycling your bottles, cans, card boards, and plastics for the next few months. If you have a busy household though and a big family, you can probably save even more cash.

Odd Jobs

Finally, the last tip we have for you that will put a little bit of extra money in your pocket for your vacation is to do odd jobs. It could be anything from mowing grass to cleaning homes. Regardless of what you do, make sure it’s something that you can do in your spare time, it pays decent, and it doesn’t cost you too much money to get it done. If you do this, you should be just fine and will find that you can put a lot of extra cash towards your trip.

And that’s it! If you work with these tips and put at least one of them into motion, you’ll find that you will definitely have extra money to put towards this year’s vacation. If you manage to do all of them, you may very well pay for your vacation with nothing but the information found on this list. Now, what are you waiting for?
