Plan a Weekend Away on a Budget That Stays a Budget
Budget trips have a way of becoming normal trips you feel guilty about. This plans the whole thing with the actual number: where to go, how the money splits, what to spend on and what to skip. You still have a proper weekend away. You just know where the money went.
