Vacation / Relaxation Page
Just when you thought you had it all covered, you realize you have to have some money put aside to pay for your vacation.

Do you take regular vacations each year? How often do you go away on these vacations? Do you take a couple of short vacations or a long stay? How do you usually pay for vacations? Do you put money away up front, or put it on the credit card and pay it later?
Let's think about airfares, hotels, and clothing that we might spend to go on the trip. This can be a big expenditure each year and one we enjoy but don't always think about as far as how it affects our monthly cash flow.
How about going out to movies, or renting movies? Don't you hate to get those late fees? I seem to get them all the time.
How about allowances? Do you give the kids an allowance each week? How much is that allowance?
How about sports or activities for the kids, anyone involved in after school programs where you might have to buy uniforms and special equipment. How many months a year are the kids involved in something like that. How about yourself, do you find yourself with a certain hobby that might cost money. Any other special activities you might attend for recreational purposes.
How about hobbies? Do you have certain hobbies that you spend money on, or other recreational activities?
How about books and magazines? Do you make regular trips to the Borders Bookstore, or to Barnes and Noble?
