So, you are thinking about retirement, but wondering if it is really time to retire… This could be a real conundrum for you and your family. Now, there can be many reasons to retire, and travel could be a major one. However, then finances come into the picture, but there are ways to have your cake and eat it too!
Here are a few suggestions for you to consider…
Start Planning Early: Planning is key for saving money. There are more opportunities for deals, especially if you have a specific itinerary in mind, then shopping early is best.
Stay Flexible: On the other hand, travel operators often slash prices at the last minute, so they can fill empty seats and rooms. If you’re willing to travel at a moment’s notice, there are all sorts of deals to take advantage of. Just have a travel bag packed in your closet ready to go!
Travel During Shoulder Seasons: With no job to tie you down, retirees are able to travel in the shoulder seasons, which are those times that the weather is still good, but the peak tourist rush is finished.
Be Smart About Your Destination: You could choose to spend a week at Disney World with the grandkids or pay the same amount and stay a month at a different destination. It all depends on your preferences.
Combine Multiple Stops: Fly into one city and out of another for each trip. That’s a smart way to reduce expenses and finish the journey feeling like you’ve made headway on travel goals. Therefore, putting checks into your bucket list!
