Q1 Do you try to build savings up for trips, pay in instalments or just budget when you can? How do you manage/spread your money to travel?

A1 #pttravel Typically I’ll start planning about 3 months before I go. I’ll start with airfare & plan around that. I will try to spread out payments over that 3 months. That usually works well.

@kate_frankie #pttravel a1: *traditionally* my expenses have been far less than my income, so while I've not 'saved', I've accrued money by default.
Conversely, I don't own credit cards, so can only spend what I can afford. My trips tend to be one-offs, booked 'at that time'.

A1 #PTTravel We have a separate bank account, into which we pay a monthly sum to cover standing orders, etc. ... and anything left over is 'travel money'. Surprising how quickly it builds up; esp. as we haven't really travelled since 2019.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1. Always save first, then spend what I have. It's taken me a while to build up the money, but I've got an exciting trip booked for next spring. Definitely not a bargain though #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1. I tend to book over three months, using one wage for flights, one for accommodation and one for spending money. #PTTravel

A1. Usually the flight has to be paid for upfront but for hotels usually use https://t.co/pM5iWP66IZ so that only has to be paid on arrival.

A1 I try to have some savings, pay in instalments if its a big expense and budget options for some stuff.
I travel when I can and its what I choose to spend extra cash on
