Maximising Your Dollar While Travelling!



Travelling costs money. The growth in global travel has helped drive travelling costs down but it is still an activity that requires you to use your hard earned money for you to travel to your favourite getaway, paradise and place of enjoyment!

Arguably the most expensive parts of the trip are the ticketing and accomodation.

The internet has many portals that provide cheap airtickets. Check out Zuji, MISA travel and also the online budget airlines. All these help you to search for the best fares and compare them.

Book your trips early. Airfares, especially budget airlines tend to charge close to full-service airlines near the date of travelling, so maximise the "B" in budget airlines by arranging your trip early.

Enjoy yourself and enjoy the savings too that you can spend on other things on your trip!

Be well and prosper.

hi, i find that your information is really useful. im currently a NSF and it really hit home when i read your article about financial literacy, that i know next to nothing about managing my finances in future.


right now I've just only started saving some money by channelling part of my monthly allowance into savings under the POSB SAYE scheme. but i feel that im now a little late to start because i could have saved a lot more had i started being more sensible earlier on.

anyway i just surfed the money sense website i found on your site and chanced upon this http://www.moneysense.gov.sg/publications/guides_publications/Consumer_Portal_MoneySense_ConsumerGuides.html , one of the segment is the "Dollars & Sense" - 12-part financial series in Streats newspaper. Probably something that everyone should know. Anyway, thanks again for the information, its been a great help to me, and do keep up with it!
