How to Budget for Trips: When to Book and How to Avoid Hidden Fees

Oh yeah, we've been on the side hustle life for years. And I don't recommend getting a side hustle just to fund your wanderlust, but it's been a great way for me to budget for travel separately. The money from those gigs for me goes straight into this high yield savings account. So that account also earns a bit of interest.

Well, a lot of people don't realize that most employers that use direct deposit allow you to direct your income into different bank accounts if you want. So you can go to your payroll team and you can say something like, I want 90% of my income to go into this account and 10% to go into this other account, which could be for travel or any kinds of fun things you're saving for.

Either way, just automate it so you don't have to think about it. For example, if you have a travel credit card, you could set up auto pay so that you could pay off that credit card directly from your travel account. It just makes it so much easier to budget correctly when you're not moving money around all the time.
