Balik-alindog na sa ipon-ing this coming summer

Mag-budget at mag-ipon na ulit para sa todo-todong summer saya!


Balik-alindog na sa ipon-ing this coming summer

You know ✨ SUMMER SZN ✨ is near when budget airlines have announced their seat sale promos! As the chill of the new year fades and the warm weather calls, eto na ang sign mo para kulayan na ang mga drowing!


So kung ikaw ay nagbabalak mag-beach getaway sa La Union, Siargao, o Boracay, mag-staycation sa BGC o Makati, o mag-out of town somewhere sa Baguio o Batanes, basta with careful planning and smart budgeting, you can have that perfect summer escape you’ve always wanted!


Here’s how to make the most of your summer adventure while keeping your finances in check:


  1. Set your summer goals. Eto na ‘yung exciting part! Everyone loves a planner so consider where you want to go, what activities you’d like to do, and how long you want to stay. Once you have a clear vision, break down the costs associated with your trip, including transportation, accommodations, meals, and activities.

  2. Create a summer budget. If this entails creating a separate savings account for your summer getaway, go for it! With your goals in mind, establish a realistic budget for your summer adventure. Determine how much you need to save each month leading up to your trip to reach your financial target.

  3. Start saving early. Don’t wait until the last minute to save for your summer vacation. Begin setting aside money each month as soon as possible to build up your summer travel fund. Consider automating your savings by setting up automatic transfers from your bank account to a dedicated savings account.

  4. Trim expenses. If you feel you’re going to be traveling on a budget, it’s essential for you to cut back on a few expenses and redirect those funds toward your summer savings. Siguraduhin mong simulan ‘to nang maaga, from evaluating your monthly expenses and identifying areas where you can make adjustments, like dining out or shopping.

  5. Plan affordable activities. You don’t need to shell out wads and wads of cash to have a fun vacation. Remember, the best things in life are free! Think camping in a national park, exploring local attractions, or taking advantage of free community events and festivals. A little creativity goes a long way (without breaking the bank)!

  6. Book affordable flights + earn points with the UnionBank Cebu Pacific Gold credit card! Airlines are currently on a seat sale craze! Pero alam mo ba na you can fly for free with Cebu Pacific?

Before summer officially waves hello, make sure to plan, set goals, and keep an eye on your wallet! I-manifest mo na ang best summer mo! Whether you’re jet-setting on a wild adventure or chilling on a relaxing staycation, your budget ensures you a priceless and unforgettable summer experience!
