 TITLE: How to Budget for a Dream Summer Vacation CONTENT: Do: Save Up All Year\n--------------------\nA portion of your tax refund or work bonus can help fund summer travel, but to have an even bigger pot of cash to draw from, set up a savings account specifically for vacation. Send just $50 a month to it, and you'll have at least $600 to work with a year from now.\nSave more per month by choosing a few areas of your budget to trim—by doing at-home workouts instead of paying for a gym you don't go to, for instance—and creating an automatic transfer for that amount to your vacation fund. If you plan to travel with a friend or partner, motivate each other by setting a savings goal and celebrating when you hit milestones along the way. END
