How to Track Travel Expenses and Stick to a Vacation Budget
Most families need to stick to a budget when they travel. But tracking daily expenses, especially in a foreign currency, can be tricky. Here are some easy tips to make it easy to keep track of how much you're spending.
Before you leave
Create an email folder for your trip
Each time you make a booking, place the itinerary confirmation and receipt into an email folder or label. You can use the folder to help you build your final itinerary before you leave, too.
Set a daily budget
Set a daily budget that includes lodging, food, transportation, and entertainment. During the trip, you can track your spending against this goal.
