Added $335 more to "vacation 2012" fund.
The new numbers are:
Trip to Asia $5,700 estimated need
Vacation Fund account -$4,936 saved
-$250 in amex cheques
$514 left to save
Asia vacation shopping fund
$900 wanted
-$300 saved
$600 to go
Local skiing: $750 (fully funded)
Week long ski trip $0 Funded (may have to forego).
I am carefull to keep vacation savings separate from regular savings.
That way I know how much I want to spend, not feel guilty about spending it, and feel good about adding to it when possible.
Last time we went away was 1 year and 10 months ago. So by the time summer 2012 hits it will be almost 3 years.
And we did not have so much money to save with the baby, the pregnancy, the new apartment.
Another addition to future vacation fund
