Finding inexpensive staycation ideas at home has become a growing trend, and if we stop and consider our last few vacations, you’ll likely understand why.
People always have the best intentions of sticking to a budget; however, chances are, they blow it. Oops!
First, things are usually more expensive than planned, or they sabotage their plans by “needing” to try every new food, or visiting every hot spot since they will likely not be returning to that location. Can’t say I blame them!
Are they alone?
Nope, according to this article found at Credit Donkey, an average vacation for a family of four costs $4,580. The average person spends around $1,200 per year on vacation.
Since Walt Disney World is a popular destination for the kiddos, I wanted to check what a vacation to see Mikey Mouse would cost for a family of four. Money.com cites if you splurge on a four day Disney World experience, it will set you back about $6,360. Wowzer!
Unfortunately, the reality check of our overspending doesn’t hit us until we get back home. However, that should not stop us from taking time off even if that means time off in our own homes.
