If there's one thing that can threaten your travel plans, it's money — or, more accurately, a lack thereof. And, sure, maybe you don't have the funds to splurge on a big vacation at any given time. But by setting aside a small amount of money each month, you'll spread out the financial obligation — and come up with the money without feeling the effects of a major hit to your wallet.
While some (cough cough, grandparents) may still prefer the piggy bank method, it's 2017 — so we suggest taking things digital. By setting up an automatic transfer through your online banking platform, you won't be able to forget to contribute, use the excuse of not having cash, or easily dip into the jar for some petty cash — that is, until trip-planning time, when you'll be pleasantly reminded that even the smallest monthly contributions can add up to the trip of a lifetime.
