How to plan for a hassle-free holiday

"In order to save money, you should try to avoid trendy destinations that come with a higher price tag"

Holidays are great and the best part is that we can plan ahead to have a great time. Starting a savings fund for a holiday is a fantastic way of making it work. There are some great options now to do this easily such as a Revolut Vault where they will put away money each week for you. Planning ahead can make it all the more hassle free when it comes to finally boarding that flight for sunnier shores. Putting away €50 each week for a year would leave you with a nice fund of €2,600 for your holiday.
