i save money many different ways to go to Jamaica. i buy #s weekly on ballgames (gambling). i save all my change. I have a vacation account that a certain amount of money gets deposited each paycheck and several smaller things i do. i was wondering what every one else does to save money for the trip down to Jamaica. i may be missing some $$$ somewhere. please share your ideas.
I started a "vacation fund" account that is funded by the money I am saving from quitting smoking. Jamaica is my motivation to stay away from the cigs. I guess the new smoking ban won't mean as much to me now...lol

If the wife and I would quit smoking it would pay for a trip, if we would cut out cable/internet/telephone that would be nearly two additional trips. Bus alas I just continue to work, waste money as above, and spend our retirement early by spending several wonderful weeks through out the year (each year) visiting my #1 favorite place on the planet. Any week is a great week in Jamaica, but the best are in the west! You can quote me.
come on peeps, lets use our imagination. i also am clearing out things on craigs list
i work for commission, during the busy times i work my butt off. one year i saved all my change, loonies, twonies/ quarters, ended up with $900
I have a vacation fund...It doesnt cost me alot. My entire trip budget is always $1300, including airfare.
I save by booking through Onestop and use the "special sale" at CoCo just "before the rates jump and you pay double next week for what I just paid the week prior? HIYOOOOO
We got rid of cell phones and we put money away each week. Not glamorous but it works.
Don't waste your time with explanations, people only hear what they want to hear.
Save all the loose change and recycle bottles and cans.

if you are going for a week or three, just figure out the cost, divide by the number of months and make an effort to put away the money necessary each month.
