Budgeting Family Trips

Plan affordable family holidays without sacrificing sanity or savings account.

Overview

Holidays are supposed to be relaxing—until you do the maths. This course is your online guide to planning family trips that are enjoyable, affordable, and unlikely to require a second mortgage. Whether it’s a local getaway or an ambitious itinerary, we offer strategies that help you manage costs without managing meltdowns.

You’ll learn how to research deals, plan itineraries without draining every resource, and avoid the classic traps of overspending on “just in case” items. All with a little planning, some perspective, and a respectful nod to spreadsheets. Because memories are priceless—but Wi-Fi and snacks, sadly, are not.
