It’s true, just traveling is great, spending time with friends is good too. If you combine these two components, your vacation can turn out to be very bright, and in some cases just unforgettable. Moreover, this kind of vacation has its own financial advantages , to which today’s article is devoted.
The first plus of a joint vacation is the ability to share the cost of travel . While you may not be able to save on train, plane or bus tickets, the savings on a car trip can be very significant. After all, going to a chosen resort with friends, you simply divide the cost of fuel among all. The same applies to transporting your brothers to the place of arrival by taxi. A nice bonus will be a good company and the opportunity to brighten up the road by communicating with people you are interested in.
The second positive aspect of vacationing with friends is the lower cost of housing . I’ll make a reservation that here again we are not talking about individual rooms in the hotel. Renting an apartment or a house, for which you can pay a fixed amount, will, in any case, cost less than paid hotel rooms. It is not only more profitable to live like this, but also more fun.
Staying not in a hotel, but in a house or apartment, you also get a chance to spend less on food . How? Just sharing the responsibilities of home cooking! Of course, many believe that when going on vacation, you need to choose an all-inclusive service model, so as not to be fooled by the purchase of food and cooking. But on the other hand, since you have decided to go, as they say, “savages”, that is, without focusing on hotels, you still have to cook. You will not regularly eat exclusively in establishments, so there will not be enough funds. And having decided what, how and when to cook, you not only save money, but also gain invaluable experience – joint cooking with friends, sharing culinary skills and pleasant communication in a relaxed home atmosphere at the same table.
Finally, with your credit card , you can earn more bonuses if you participate in the respective programs. How to do it? Take responsibility for paying all expenses with your card. (This is especially beneficial if none of your fellow travelers makes a choice in favor of a bank card, preferring cash.) So, you can pay with your card for everyone and get good bonuses on it. At the same time, collecting checks, you will eventually be able to present something like an invoice to your friends, who will return you the money paid for them. And you, with your bonuses, will only win.
