Life Happens…. asked:


I believe my family deserves a summer vacation for next year. I’m in college and do have a job and know how to save money wisely. But I would like to save money secretly without my parents knowing it will be for a vacation for the whole family. There are 4 of us in the family. I can budget really well and since this is the first time I’m going to pull such a surprise on them, I would like to know what I need to put in thought. I know I must consider the cost of a hotel room or a cabin (since my family loves the outdoors), money for gas, money for food, money for souvenirs, emergency money and etc… What is an reasonable amount to put away for next summer every 2 weeks???

I’m only 21 years old so I just need some advice from people that have done this before… I don’t know exactly what amount of money I should be shooting for either…
I want the summer vacation to be a good and worry free experience. The last time my family has been on an actual vacation was when I was in elementary school.

We’ll most likely vacation in our home state. I know my mom has been hinting a certain state park to vacation at. So I will choose that place for this surprise summer vacation.

Please and thank you for your help and advice…
I am very well aware of emergency road kits… Sorry I should have added that in. I’m a nature wanderer so I know about the emergency kits and first aid… Thanks!!!!

I’m just looking for places that may not be as well known around the world that would make for a wonderful vacation. I’ve always been interested in going to Cinque Terre in Italy

It is a cliffside series of 5 villages with a cliffside road called “the lovers walk” or something to that effect between at least 2 of them.

What are yours?

Does anyone have any experience on Marriott Vacation Club? which I have to take a tour that will last about ninety minutes followed by an aggressive sales pitch. You cannot come back on next week for today’s offer, and the promotion is not published publicly. Once you leave without joining them, you cannot join them again within the next 12 months. During the presentation, you receive only a brief introduction about Hotel facility if you don’t know how to ask the right question, and they mention nothing about the risk and responsibility. Their package cost US 65,000 or 32,000 for the life time member, and you only get 10 - 20 minutes to make such decision whether to join it or miss it. Once you leave this room, you cannot receive this offer again within next 12 months.
Does anyone know why they sell like that? they don’t give much time for consumer to think.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
