After a hard-working year, everyone wants a chance to spend some time with their family, but in order to do that, it is important to learn how to manage the finances – even on holiday. However, the vacation does not have to cost too much, and if you are careful enough, you can get your expenses to the lowest level. Here are some tips that can help you enjoy your vacation in all possible ways:

• You should start searching for room or hotel accommodation, but be prepared to spend some time doing it. Comparing prices is crucial, since many hotels of the same category can have completely different price list.

• Many people neglect the importance of travel insurance, since they believe that nothing bad can happen to them. Actually, the health insurance is a “must”, especially if you are planning to visit a foreign country. It is not only that you can never know what your trip may bring along, but any type of routine medical procedure can cost you more than your entire vacation.

• If you are adventurous enough, camping is a perfect solution for you. It is always a great time to try it – your expenses will be reduced, and you may have the best time ever.

• Do not limit your choices to expensive and popular destinations. There are many places you have not even heard of, but they might be more exciting than other expensive destinations.

• If you have a chance, especially when traveling by car, you should bring as many supplies as possible. That includes food, drinks, cosmetics, and all other things you plan to use every day. In addition, if you want to buy everything once you arrive at your destination, expect to spend more money, and you cannot be sure that you will find all the things you need.

• If you think that booking a place for summer holiday takes only one day, well, think again. There is a reason for many people to make their reservations even one year before their trip – they can get a better offer when it comes to price. On the other side, if you are lucky enough you will run into amazing last-minute offers that can be cheaper than you can imagine.

• If you plan to rent a room, consider preparing your own food, and not visiting restaurants so often. On the other hand, there are many restaurants and cantinas where you can get a daily menu for a very low price.

• If you are on vacation, try to feel that way! Stop calculating how much money you will spend on gifts. It does not mean that you must buy something for all your friends, family members and neighbors. However, if you are that kind of a person, try to stick to souvenirs that are cheap and your beloved ones will appreciate that, for sure.

Vacation time should be the best way to get rid of stress and not to make your life harder. Therefore, these simple tips can help you manage your money and really enjoy that precious time with your family.

Getting nervous about college? I bet you are worried not just about the academic aspect of going to college but also about where to find the money for tuition fees right down to the pen you will use for writing. College expenses have definitely skyrocketed but what is more terrible is that it does not show any signs of decline.

The economic situation is not helping either therefore it is up to us, ordinary citizens to look for ways to find the money to pay for college and avoid getting into debt. Take heart because there are ways you can beat college debt.

Submit an application the earliest possible time

If you are a senior, this means you have to apply right now! Do not wait for the end of the school year to submit your application. You see, colleges are also under pressure to meet quota with their number of enrollees, thus some schools would hand out scholarships to students who send in early applications.

Seek special consideration

If ever you have run out of grants, never just take it sitting down. Look for situations where you feel there is a need for special considerations. However, bear in mind that the situation to be considered should be real and not fabricated. A few of the circumstances that warrant special consideration and will give you the needed grant are like being recently laid off from work, having a disability, and not achieving the projected income because of, say a bonus that your company won’t be able to give this year.

Take vocational courses

This will not only be a positive add-on to your resume but it will also help reduce expenses once you pursue a college degree. You see, planning ahead is the secret. Make sure that the courses you take will be credited by the university you will apply to. Moreover, there are colleges that will cut down grants for transferees therefore you have to do proper research about an institution’s policies about crediting vocational courses along with financial aid programs for transferring students.

Check the university’s policy about Advanced Placement Program

A placement exam will only ensure that you will be moved to a class where you have the same level of learning. Scholarships given by Colleges and Universities will mainly look into your standing when you graduated from senior high rather than your AP result. However, it is still worth checking the college’s policy about the credits you will receive if you take an AP exam and work something out so that the policy will act favorably on your side.

Do not limit yourself

You may have an ideal college or university in mind but if you simply can’t afford it and there are no scholarships available for you in that specific school then just accept it and move on. Remember, learning is not limited to what school you are enrolled in but in how you strive to learn as a student.

Less than a month ago (until 11/15/2011), one could get a better-than-free cash advance from their credit card, courtesy of US Mint.

It’s was easy, too: order $1,000 worth of one-dollar coins on your cash-back credit card, collect 2% (that’s free $20 for you), and skip paying credit card cash advance fees and interest. Surprise your friends and cashiers! Pour them into a cloth bag for the realistic-looking money medieval pouch! For a while, I thought this would make those heavy gold-colored coins take off.

Looks like the fate of the dollar coins is now sealed. Starting November 15th, US Mint added 5% shipping surcharge, and no longer takes credit cards for payment. Given the general lack of popularity of these coins (my dry cleaning lady asked me to PLEASE stop paying with them!), I think this is another case when a potentially good idea went bust.

So long, dollar coin! Welcome back, dollar bill!
