Of course, you do plan your budget before leaving for vacation, and then what happens is, that you swipe your card every time you need anything on your vacation without considering or calculating the amount left in your account.

So, your account drains quickly without you even realizing it.

It’s like you have the budgeted money for your trip in your account,  but it becomes difficult to keep track of the money left in your account while paying via card.

What happens when you check your account after visiting eateries or doing some shopping and fun?

You check your bank balance, and to your surprise, it’s lower than you expected. You have dragged yourself over the set budget.

So what’s the solution to avoid this? It’s easy! Hard cash is your answer!

Cash will help you to keep a check on the amount in hand right away for making purchases and will not leave you overspending.

Seems like a funny and simple trick, right? But it does work excellently, and that’s the beauty of this tip. You enjoy your trip without falling into debt again.
