The sun kissing your skin as you chill while taking in the relaxing sounds of the waves. Let&#8217;s make it happen and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8EFalFXALEA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vamos a la playa<\/a> (let\u2019s go to the beach).\u00a0 Let me show you how!<\/p>\r\n<center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/3o6gDUsnPH5wwhdASQ\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/water-beach-vacation-3o6gDUsnPH5wwhdASQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/center>\r\n<p>When you have enough money saved, you can go to any beach in the world your heart desires! \u00a0Those beautiful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/turksandcaicos\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instagram beach pictures<\/a> can be within arms reach. But first, you\u2019re going to have to start making a few minor money changes that will help get you there in no time!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>Here are some tips that can help you save money:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\u2022Watch your online shopping spending habits and avoid impulse buys (could save over $20-40 per week in savings)<\/p>\r\n<p>\u2022Skip out on your coffee run once or twice a week (could save $10 per week in savings)<\/p>\r\n<p>\u2022Cancel any subscriptions that you don\u2019t use regularly (could save $10-$30 per month in savings)<\/p>\r\n<p>\u2022Dine-in once or twice a week and prepare lunches to take to work (could save $20-$40 per week in savings)<\/p>\r\n<p>\u2022Use student discounts (if applicable) whenever possible (could save $10-$15 per week in savings)<\/p>\r\n<p>\u2022Use cash versus credit card, because it\u2019s harder to spend more when you pay with cash. You physically see it leave your hands and makes you aware of how much you\u2019re spending.<\/p>\r\n<p>While you\u2019re working on saving more money, make sure to keep a close eye on your spending, and be aware of any patterns where you can cut on the spending.\u00a0 Also, what has worked for me is <a href=\"https:\/\/hispanabella.com\/learn-the-basics-of-budgeting-pronto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">budgeting<\/a> and setting a savings goal (for example, I\u2019m going to save $100 per month).\u00a0 Each time I get paid, I set aside the money in an envelope and keep adding to it every paycheck. If I keep saving $100 per month, that&#8217;s going to be $1,200 in a year! If you want to go on that dream vacation sooner, you&#8217;ll need to increase your monthly savings to get you there pronto!<\/p>\r\n<p>For some reason actually seeing my progress, as something tangible, has motivated me to keep going.\u00a0 In addition, you can write your goal down (for example, <a href=\"http:\/\/turksandcaicostourism.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Turks &amp; Caicos<\/a> Caribbean vacation) so that you remember why you\u2019re working hard to save money.\u00a0 If you make these changes and are consistent, soon enough, you will be on your way to paradise!\u00a0 Can you almost feel the ocean breeze?!<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hola bellas!
