Ciao a tutti. L’articolo di oggi vertirà su un argomento basilare ed essenziale. Stiamo parlando di come risparmiare del denaro per un viaggio o per iniziare ad intraprendere una serie di viaggi. Ora non vi resta che continuare a leggere e prendere appunti!
La prima cosa da fare è quella di porsi degli obiettivi e delle scadenze. Vi sarà molto più facile risparmiare in questo modo perchè avete qualcosa a cui aspirare che vi dia la giusta motivazione per continuare il percorso che state percorrendo.
Questa è, però, una situazione che richiede tempo (che quindi non può essere fatto dall’oggi al domani!) ma con tanta pazienza e forza di volontà si giunge, sicuramente, più in fretta alla cima.
Bisogna, innanzitutto, depositare una piccola parte di ogni stipendio. In alternativa potete procurarvi un salvadanaio e metterci qualche banconota ogni settimana (questo era il metodo preferito dei nostri nonni e dobbiamo dire che funzionava alla grande!).
Sarebbe opportuno fare un bilancio personale per tenere la situazione sotto controllo. In questo modo potrete controllare quanto avete speso in una settimana (ma anche mensilmente) e stabilire se avete esagerato con le spese o se siete stati attenti a non spendere molto. Per facilitarvi ancora di più il lavoro potete stabilire un budget (magari all’inizio del mese e calcolarvi quanto desiderate spendere in quel determinato periodo).
Di conseguenza, sempre per tenere sotto controllo le spese, prendetene nota (oggi è più facile grazie anche alle utilizzo delle apposite app) o conservatevi tutti gli scontrini e a fine mese tirate le somme (questo è un trucco che vi darà la smossa che serve anche per farvi capire quante cose utili e inutile avete comprato).
Una delle cose da non fare è sicuramente indebitarsi. Ovviamente ci sono circostanze che non lo permettono e qualora questa cosa dovesse succedere si consiglia almeno di pagare il prima possibile. Quindi, no debiti (se è possibile!).
Ed ecco che tocchiamo il tasto dolente: gli oggetti di cui potremmo fare a meno. La lista è lunga ma già evitare di comprare oggetti di lusso sarà un passo decisivo. Ci sono sempre un sacco di cose inutili che compriamo o solo perchè è di moda o magari una volta acquistate le utilizziamo solo una volta (e nel peggiore dei casi mai). Ecco, è di questi oggetti che stiamo parlando. Bisogna comprare lo stretto necessario ed eliminare dalla lista un oggetto troppo costoso e superfluo. Pensate che un vestito di marca può costare quanto un biglietto aereo, allora perchè comprarlo quando si risparmierebbero un sacco di soldi e andare dritti alla meta?!
Ciò, però, non riguarda solo gli oggetti di lusso. Spesso spendiamo più del dovuto anche per il cibo. Compriamo un sacco di merendine o cibi pronti e cose che effetivamente non consumeremo nel breve tempo possibile. A volte si tende, anche, a comprare un sacco di roba che spesso, inevitabilmente, verrà buttata. La soluzione sarebbe andare a spendere dove più conviene e comprare poco e spesso (così risparmierete dei soldi per assaggiare i piatti tipici della città in cui desiderate andare).
Se potete, preferite gli spostamenti a piedi o in bici (proprio come ci hanno insegnato i Paesi Bassi) o con i mezzi pubblici. Un buon modo anche per tenersi in forma!
Le uscite con gli amici (altro tasto dolente). Ci sono molte attività poco costose da poter fare con loro piuttosto che spendere una serata in un ristorante. Certo una volta ogni tanto, se rientra nel vostro programma, si può fare. Sarebbe, però, meglio optare per qualche attività all’aperto o delle serate “party” con pizze o delle pietanze che ogni vostro amico in visita porterà a casa vostra. Potete, inoltre, tenervi impegnati frequentando qualche club. Insomma le possibilità sono infinte; in fondo non è importante il luogo o cosa si fa ma la compagnia, giusto?
E’ più conveniente preferire lo sport all’aperto o in casa pittosto che in strutture. Oramai ci sono tanti dvd in circolo con cui allenarsi.
Un ultimo suggerimento per guadagnare qualcosina, sarebbe quello di vendere qualche oggetto elettronico o altri oggetti che non utilizzate più.
Questi sono gli accorgimenti fondamentali da avere per il raggiungimento del vostro obiettivo. Naturalmente ci sono molti altri piccoli gesti quotidiani di cui dobbiamo fare attenzione. Certo ci sono dei sacrifici da fare (come in ogni cosa che si fa!) ma se amate viaggiare, come noi, allora nulla risulterà un grande peso. Il suggerimento è, comunque, quello di spendere intelligentemente e di non arrendersi mai nonostante qualche volta possiate commettere qualche errore.
L’unica controindicazione è che tutto ciò non diventi un ossessione!
E voi, saresti disposti a seguire questi metodi? Noi, intanto, speriamo questi suggerimenti vi siano utili al raggiungimento dei vostri sogni.
Come sempre se avete domande o curiosità fatecelo sapere nei commenti.
Un bacio a tutti.
Saving for travel is always so hard. I always get the actual cost of the trip and then can’t seem to get my spending money set. Love to travel, so I get it done.
Saving money is not always easy, but it’s necessary if you really want to nurture your dreams 🙂
My current biggest motivation to save is so that I can travel! Thanks for the post 🙂
This means you’re doing well. We’re very happy you liked our post!
Great tips! Everyone can afford to travel, it’s just about making it a priority 🙂
Exactly! If you really want something (in this case traveling) you can do everything 😉
I try to save money to go on one bigger holiday (2 to 3 weeks) a year. And also for a few smaller trips. Mostly comic con related. I just save up for that as much as I can. While also enjoying other things I do.
This is the right spirit! Saving as much as you can but continuing enjoy your everyday life.
Comic-con? Love it 🙂
Saving money for travel is one of greatest reason to save money – my dream is to see every country in the world!
Totally agree with you! We have the same dream so follow us to discover the beauties of the cities around the world 😀
I’m awful at saving. I don’t earn much, but I am committing to saving £5 a week, it sounds lame but adds up over time.
It sounds great instead! Life has various difficulties of course, but if you can save also £5 a week it’s a motive of pride!!
Great tips!

We are pretty sure that with our tips you will able to save some extra money to spend to enjoy your future travels. Try, it doesn’t cost anything 😉
I wanna save money for my pilgrim tour 🙂 Have been trying hard.
You can do it! You need to have a great willpower and certainty in what you’re doing.
Everyday I save at extra coins from my purse and put it to my travel fund jar (yup like a kid, but works!) Or sometimes I sell my unwanted and useful stuffs for extra funds.
Traditional methods are almost always the best! You are on the right way, never give up!!
Well i want to save my blogging earning and invest t on my business too.
Who says is it impossible? Try one of the possibility that we suggested 🙂
I always put aside all my 1 dollar and 2 dollar coins for spending money on trips! Seems to add up to a lot at the end of a year!
Many people underestimate the power of coins… But it is wrong because added together they form a great nest egg.
I think my biggest problem is probably because I don’t have anyone to travel with, but, yes the money is on the second place. People somehow spend more money after they decided to save it. Don’t know why.
Travel with friends or with family is super but also traveling alone is not so bad… you can test lots of your abilities and learn how to survive without depending on someone.
And yes, without money is difficult to travel hahaha
I love this article! I feel like it actually showcases how it easy it is to save if you truly put your mind to it!

Hi! Thank you 🙂
Where are you going? Europe is full of amazing cities….!
For us we cut a lot on spending for clothing as that is a huge cost when it accumulates. We cut for EVERYTHING we can and drop the BIG dollars for travelling! 🙂
If you really want something, you have to do some sacrifices. And sacrifices done for travelling are the most worthy!!

The secret is to focus your attention on a specific goal. If you really want you can do everything and you are already on the right way!! Keep on 🙂
Great tips, thank you!! Saving while traveling is really a challenge for me. I like how you incorporate fitness and health while saving… I do a lot of walking while traveling too and avoid fancy restaurant if I have other options. 🙂
Hi! Thank you for your comment 🙂
We think it’s an alternate and original way to saving money and at the same time healthy.
I agree! The very first step to be able to save for your travel fund is to create a budget. This way, you’ll know when money is coming in and on what expenses they are coming out. Thanks for the tips!
We are very happy you agree with us. A budget for a traveler is very important 🙂
