Your annual family vacation should create memories—not debt. By setting boundaries, planning and spending intentionally, you can create experiences that are both meaningful and financially responsible.

Tips for a Debt-Free Vacation

Financial Educator Meg Lee provides several tips to help you keep your vacation on track:

• Build a travel savings fund so you have money saved before leaving
• Create a travel budget and research how much different activities will cost
• Save a little extra for emergencies or last-minute activities so you still have flexibility
• Pay with cash or be prepared to pay off your credit cards as soon as you return to prevent interest costs
