4. The fourth strategy :
strategy for the “Holiday Travelers” or “Holiday Traveler”. You are of this type if you prefer to walk to exotic places or visiting relatives.
Here are some expenditure items based on the priority order for out-of-town vacation.
1. The first is the postal transportation.
Make sure the transportation budget already includes round-trip for the whole family. Separate transportation money. With other budget headings. In addition to the number of participants who go on holiday the amount of transportation cost depends on the type of transport you choose whether to use an airplane or train your own vehicle.
2. The second heading is the cost of accommodation and meals.
Should do research first place of lodging for your family at the destination location from the most expensive to cheap. If necessary there is no harm in “booking” the desired hotel from a long day. In addition to cheaper we are forced to decide how long we’re going on vacation. Besides taking into account the combination of eating places to be visited. Remember eating is the most flexible expenses. The size depends on how we want to enjoy it.
3. The third heading is the cost of shopping.
Having prepared the main costs do not forget to prepare the cost of shopping. This is a fund that you spend in the holidays. Determine from the house what would you buy at tourist sites. Buy something that is typical of the location of your tour. Add 15% of funds for expenses such as snacks for children who want to spend to buy snacks or drinks
4. The fourth heading is the cost of souvenirs.
Perform this expenditure at the end of the holidays. Do not fall for it out at the beginning. Usually we want to give a gift in the form of a variety of souvenirs or special food to friends or relatives nearby. Of course, this souvenir is optional. So if there are any other fees are not quite sure on the cost of a gift is that you should cut.
5. Last unexpected costs.
Unexpected costs prepared in the event of unwanted things like accidents during holidays and sick family members so forth. These funds are also useful as initial funding for life after our return to the city of origin. Because often the case when the family returned from vacation atmosphere that has not changed so it still need to eat out and so on. So it must be remembered that these unused funds must remain intact until the return home. Not the additional holiday shopping or other expenses. Unexpected costs can also be prepared by using insurance protection so do not hesitate to take.
The interest rate is not fixed. It is based on several factors, namely:
The first level of credit card usage. The more transactions you make with a credit card or the longer you do not pay the entire bill until maturity, the greater the interest will be charged.
Both of the rates will be affected the pattern of your credit card bill payment.
And the last periodic review or habit patterns and how to use your credit card payment.
Indeed, the problem that often arises is the lack of customer information on when credit card interest rate will be imposed on them and the way the calculation.
For it is necessary to explain, that credit card interest will appear in the following three conditions are in:
If you pay less than the total of new bills that have been charged in your bill.
Or if you make a payment due date passes.
And also when you make cash withdrawals from credit cards.
