Funding Your Family Road Trip

July 18, 2018 By Shanna Leave a Comment

When you’re a parent, you want to open your child’s eyes to as much of the world as possible. You don’t want them cooped up in their hometown, limited to the same old places and events when there’s a whole planet out there just waiting to be explored! However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to jump on flights or boats overseas. Instead, you can introduce your little one to new places in your own car! Road trips are a fun way to liberate your little one and a great means of taking them to places a little further than they would wander during the usual run of things. So, here are a few ways to fund these experiences!

Kentucky Road Trip

Refinancing Your Vehicle

Now, family life can strike fast and sometimes you find that you don’t get the best deal possible when you’re in the process of making ends meet. As we are all well aware, having your own set of wheels makes life with kids a whole lot easier. It means that you can get from A to B easily without having to rely on public transport, adhere to public transport timetables, or trek to and from public transport pick up and drop off points. It’s not all too surprising that so many of us take whatever appropriate vehicle unveils itself to us first. It’s also (consequently) not all too surprising that many of us are tied up in bad finance deals that suck up a whole lot of our monthly disposable income in the form of interest. This is frustrating when the money could be put to better use. The good news? You can keep your vehicle to use on road trips and reduce its cost (giving you increased funds to go on your road trips) in one fell swoop by engaging with a refinance car loan. This will offer you the money to clear your current loan and put you in touch with a lender who will allow you to make these repayments with lower interest rates and more agreeable terms. Perfect!

Cutting Day to Day Costs

If you cut your daily spending, you can put the extra money aside for fuel and excursions on your next trip. For now, let’s focus on saving when it comes to your grocery shopping. Food and drink are basics for being able to function. But so many of us waste excessive amounts of money on items that we don’t need or for branded products that have cheaper and extremely similar alternatives. Budgeting your grocery shop is extremely easy with just a little organization. Instead of heading to the store without a set plan of what you’re going to buy, make a shopping list with all of the necessary ingredients for the week’s meals. This will prevent you from picking up random products that you’re unlikely to use. Also, consider going to lower cost stores. They may be a little further from home, but the convenience of convenience stores is reflected in their prices.

These are just a couple of different ways that you can cover the costs of road trips that will prove beneficial to your child!
