The last time we went to Disney World was two years ago. My son was 3 at the time, and even though he enjoyed the experience while we were there, he doesn’t remember too much about it now. But whenever he glances through our photo albums and sees all the snapshots we took at Disney, he starts clamoring about taking another trip there. This has been happening for the past two weeks now, with no letup in sight.
So Jerry and I had a bit of a discussion about vacations tonight, and while we don’t have any money for a big trip in the near future, we could probably do something good next year (provided we save enough). We’ve always wanted to go on a Disney cruise, so that’s what we’re shooting for. Hopefully if we find some good cruise deals out there, we’ll be able to have the best family vacation ever next summer!
Oh, and of course we’ll have to stop by the theme park for at least one day. I can’t pass up a chance to go on Space Mountain or Pirates of the Caribbean!
When the economy is bad like this, saving money becomes an even more critical issue for small business owners than it usually is. After all, it can be tough continue paying bills and making payroll when fewer and fewer customers are buying your products or services.
I belong to a rewards program through my credit card company. It’s just some shopping program that allows me to trade my accumulated points in for various goods and services from participating merchant (I earn one point for every dollar I charge to my account).
