Far Out Family Vacation

Did you ever watch the Honeymooners and Ralph says to his wife "To the moon Alice, to the moon!?"

Well, now you can start planning that vacation to the moon! Russian space officials announced they have plans to let 2 people join them, possibly in 2008, on a 10 - 21 day trip around the moon in one of their spacecraft and they might even stop at the international space station.

Start putting your money aside now! You only need to save every day for the next three years $91,324.20 per day! $100 million for round trip tickets for 2. So much for my budget!

Actually, my son asked me today if I'd like to go into space - No way!!! I panic on ferris wheels and get sick on merry-go-rounds.

I'll pass!

Start Saving Now For Next Year's Vacation

A long time ago my husband and I promised each other that if we had to pay interest on credit cards we'd cut them up and quit using them.

So how do we pay for things like Christmas presents or vacations? We start the year before putting aside monthly. If you aren't already on a budget, I highly recommend it - it's amazing how money can seem to just flow out of your pockets leaving you wondering where it goes if you don't have a budget and keep track of your expenses.

So you are wondering how you could possibly put aside that much money - well, instead of me reinventing the wheel - this articles lists some really great ideas - like instead of ordering a $20 carryout pizza get a frozen one or around here on Fridays you can go to Dominicks Grocery Store and get a large pizza for $5.00!

So you don't like pizza on Fridays - get them uncooked and stick it in the freezer. For that matter, stick a few in there for those last minute nothing's ready days.

Clink, Clink - start saving!
