I also have a passionate interest in different expressions of music, especially many American styles and their combinations (Folk-Country, Jazz, Pop, Rhythm and Blues, Rock, Soul, and so on), dance, stage and screen, and some other forms of artistic expression.

    You have probably dreamed of traveling to a specific destination. But, since you have the money, you also run the risk to alter the monthly budget a little bit. Based on this, we give you some savings tips that will help make those vacations be unforgettable.

    To achieve this, it is important to be objective and not get carried away by any unnecessary temptation:

    Establish a real budget to achieve what you propose

    Look at your monthly fixed expenses and calculate a savings goal. It even includes a percentage for variable expenses, so the money that remains is only for the objective to be achieved.

    Compare prices and look for offers

    You should always do this exercise. Look at offers and not brands, ask others their savings tricks and put them into practice.

    Comparing prices at the supermarket

    Avoid impulse purchases

    The purchases that appear from the impulses lead us to spend more than we can and the vacations are without a budget. Impulsive consumerism is the worst enemy of saving and can alter your budget, without you realizing it.

    Online shopping

    Save money key to online shopping

    On the internet, we can find scandalously good offers of up to 75% or, why not, 90% in products of all kinds. Of course, before clicking without measure, think if you really need it. Any unforeseen expenses not reflected in your monthly budget will directly affect your ability to save.

    Reduce expenses at home

    You can save on water and energy, with efficient and ecological appliances, and learn to better manage natural resources.

    Taking into account these tips, we are sure that your budget will have better performance and avoid unnecessary debts.
