Saving Tips for Your Next Trip to South Africa

The start of the new year is usually considered the most stressful season as many people are cash strapped.

Hence, being deliberate about saving a few extra cash for an upcoming holiday is very crucial.

It is advisable to save in bits over a period of time towards your travel goals than taking out a lump sum from your earnings at a go. 

Automating your savings is the most effective way to save towards your travel goes without fail or intervention.

Here are three easy steps on how to do automated savings:

  1. Decide on an amount to be saved towards your travels monthly
  2. Place an automated standing order on your account to sweep into your Travel Fund
  3. Get notified whenever the transfer is done (for accountability purposes).
  • Save in Crypto, where Necessary

Saving in crypto helps you hedge against foreign exchange fluctuations and possible losses.

If your currency of earning is less valuable compared to currencies in your travel destinations, crypto is the best way to go (eg: The Nigerian Naira against the US Dollar).

Note: It is advisable to read on regulations first, as different jurisdictions may have different legislation on this.
