Did your "stay at home summer" turned out to be more expensive than an actual vacation would have been ?

Question

Mine seems headed that way. We decided not to take a vacation as to save money and instead stay around home and visit places close etc. but between entrances and meals out I guess we could have afforded a vacation after all!!!

Answer 1

That's so true. Finding something to do every weekend ends up as travel money, entry money, buy them something as a souvenir money, ice cream money...soon a day trip costs £40/$80 and the holiday was only £150 $300. We could have saved up from 4 day trips and gone on another weeks vacation to the sea!
