Cheap airplane tickets and cheap discount hotel rooms help families wanting to take vacations. However, some people need help saving for vacations no matter how cheap the actual vacation may be. A website called Mint.com has introduced a new tool to help travelers set a vacation goal and then save for it.
Once travelers have estimated how much they think their trip will cost, Mint.com can provide detailed budgeting assistance. This site offers the ability to figure out where you stand after paying your monthly bills and setting aside money for savings.
Mint.com offers a tool (Mint Goals) to help users determine how much they need to save each month to pay for a vacation. Users can also tell Mint.com how much they can save each month and the site will estimate when you will have enough funds to pay for your trip.
Mint shows its users how to save money in areas like dry cleaning or restaurant bills in order to make a trip possible sooner. This site shows users where they are spending their money and offers suggestions, like reducing the number of lunches out, to save.
Mint.com sends users monthly progress reports so they know where they stand.
