It\u2019s then that it hits you, <b>\u2018THIS IS REAL AND I NEED TO SAVE SOME MONEY\u2019.<\/b><\/p><p>Sure you can grab the odd lift and get lucky on a mega-cheap flight, but there\u2019s nothing worse than having to skimp on everything on your travels and something we all need before we set off on the road is a chunk of moolah.<\/p><p>Here are several tips to save BEFORE your trip:<\/p><h3><b>1) Work Out A Weekly Savings Target &amp; Transfer Weekly<\/b><\/h3><p><iframe class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/l1KVb2dUcmuGG4tby\" width=\"480\" height=\"202\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p><p>Yes it is nerdy but if you\u2019ve planned some travelling, chances are you know roughly what you get paid each week (tell me you have a job?!) and you can do some estimations.<\/p><p>Work out what you need for rent, bills, food and leave a bit for a weekly treat (someone\u2019s birthday meal out etc) and SAVE the rest. The best way to do this is to have it automatically come out and straight in to a different account that you don\u2019t touch! Sure life may seem quiet for a bit but remember you\u2019ll be having the last laugh when you\u2019re drinking from a coconut and uploading your #nofilter beach shots.<\/p><p><b>Added tip:<\/b> Inspire yourself with photos of your destinations all over the place. It could be your wall, screensaver, bedside cabinet or phone background, motivate yourself to save!<\/p><h3>2) Plan Your Food For The Week &amp; Don\u2019t Eat Out\u2026<\/h3><p><iframe class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/LVBH3rg1BUROw\" width=\"480\" height=\"192\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p><div>\u00a0<\/div><p>I\u2019m not saying you need to plan everything you eat for the entire week but the better you get at planning your meals, the more you\u2019ll save. You can still eat well, just make sure you\u2019re the one cooking it, not the local restaurant.<\/p><p>My tip would be to plan your lunches and dinners for the week and do a Sunday shop for all of it. Get Monday\/Tues\/Weds lunches made Sunday night and cook your dinner each night. To be even smarter (and if you\u2019re disciplined to not eat it all straight off!) make a big dinner and take left overs for lunch each day, cheaper again!<\/p><p><b>Added Tip:<\/b> If you\u2019re a snacker then buy a bag of nuts and portion them out so you have one each day, or even each morning and afternoon, whatever you need to fill you up and stop you going to the vending machine or corner shop!<\/p><h6>Estimated 6 month Saving: $50 per week for 6 months=$1200<\/h6><h3>3) Get A Cheeky Second Job<\/h3><p><iframe class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/inVvfuomoD31K\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p><p>If you\u2019re purely saving and trying to cut back on the social spends, then why not fill 2\/3 nights with another job? I\u2019m not saying work every waking hour but if you can pick up a shift 3 nights a week and you weren\u2019t doing anything anyway, then why wouldn\u2019t you?! 15 hours a week could be another $300 per week, that soon adds up!<\/p><p><b>Added Tip:<\/b> Go in and see your local bars, cafes and restaurants and ask if they need anyone. Don\u2019t e-mail your CV because by the time they get to it, they\u2019ve given the job to the person that walked in! Also, retail stores often need evening high season staff.<\/p><h6>Estimated 6 month Saving: $200 (post tax) a week=$4800<\/h6><h3>4) Get on Upwork\/Fiver\/99Things<\/h3><p><iframe class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/JIX9t2j0ZTN9S\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p><p>Do you have a passion for something you\u2019d perhaps like to do one day? Do you have a talent that you\u2019re not making the most of? Are you a keen blogger, video editor or maybe audio engineer?<\/p><p>If yes, then this is your year as there\u2019s several websites that are basically an open skill set sharing forum. Someone needs 5 videos editing by next week, you love editing but are not a pro so can offer a knock down price. Drop them a message, get on it and spend the profits on a month of Pad Thai.<\/p><p><b>Added Tip:<\/b>Work for a lower rate first, build up your profile and then you can charge more for your time!<\/p><h6>Estimated 6 month Saving: 1 job a month @ $150=$900<\/h6><h3>5) Sell Your Shit\u2026.<\/h3><p><iframe class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/l2JdUrmFPxNZZiWYM\" width=\"480\" height=\"366\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/season-3-the-simpsons-3x11-l2JdUrmFPxNZZiWYM\">\u00a0<\/a><\/p><p>Ok so this may seem desperate but what have you got to lose? Do you have a load\u00a0of things you look at every day and wonder why it\u2019s still hanging around in your room?<\/p><p>We all have clothes that would suit anyone but us, or that we bought and now regret? You\u2019re looking at those green chinos now aren\u2019t you? If so, then let\u2019s get rid of them. If you\u2019re not wearing them then any money is good money! Get them on e-bay, Gumtree or even Amazon depending what it is, you\u2019ve got nothing to lose!<\/p><p><b>Added Tip:<\/b> Why not do a good ol\u2019 fashioned car boot sale? I heard that, yes, they absolutely are such a thing! Take all your stuff, give it a go and then anything you don\u2019t get rid of you can then get on eBay, Gumtree and Amazon!<\/p><h6>Estimated 6 month Saving: One clear out of stuff=$300<\/h6><h3>6) Cut Your Monthlys\u2026<\/h3><div>\u00a0<\/div><p><iframe class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/26BRCPDmtpvBsutpe\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p><p>Ok so this can be a tough one and I totally get it. And let&#8217;s not be silly I know you need your contact lens prescription and we\u2019ll let you have electricity, water and gas, but what don\u2019t you NEED?<\/p><p>What would you rather do, skydive on your travels or have the luxury of being able to press skip on your Spotify? If you answered the second one then I can only hope you\u2019re scared of heights, as it\u2019s the only logical explanation!<\/p><p>Seriously, we love Spotify, Stan, Netflix and various other luxuries of hibernating but do we NEED it for the next few months? Na, no we don\u2019t.<\/p><p><b>Added Tip:<\/b> If you have cable TV or an oversized phone or home internet package then even look at scaling that back too. Definitely look at cutting it altogether (if you\u2019re not in a contract) for when you\u2019re away, you don\u2019t need that extra outgoings when you\u2019re gone!<\/p><h6>Estimated 6 month Saving: $50 per month=$300<\/h6><h3>7) Cut Your Daily Coffee, Or At Least Your Second One\u2026<\/h3><p><iframe class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/Dy5InLmd7AZm8\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p><p>I can sense the genuine fear at the mere thought of working without coffee. Will\u00a0you be able to make it to 11am? Will you murder a colleague? Will your body shut down at 2pm never to restart again?<\/p><p>I\u2019m going to say all of those will feel close for the first week but after that you\u2019ll be a convert (or in jail) and once you are you\u2019ll be delighted you made the change.<\/p><p><b>Added Tip:<\/b> Of course you don\u2019t have to work without caffeine! Take a Keep cup of home coffee or take advantage of the tea and coffee supply at work!<\/p><h6>Estimated 6 month Saving: 1 $4 coffee a day, 5 days a week for 26 weeks=$520 (THAT\u2019S A SCARY FIGURE ISN\u2019T IT.)<\/h6><h3>8) Get A Money Jar\u2026<\/h3><p><iframe class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/aKvPQkWYgSXUQ\" width=\"480\" height=\"259\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p><p>The more we spend on card the more redundant this becomes, but trust me it\u2019s still a winner. If you put your change in your jar every night for 6 months, it soon adds up.<\/p><p><b>Added Tip:<\/b> Don\u2019t get a jar but get a tin you need to open with a tin opener. Why\u00a0you ask? So you can\u2019t get in to it every time you need some change!<\/p><h6>Estimated 6 month Saving: $50 per month=$250<\/h6><h3>9) Cut The Big Weekly Night Out<\/h3><p><iframe class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/g9582DNuQppxC\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p><p>Have you always lived for the weekend? Are you the guy that gets the shots in? Or the one that\u2019 still drinking when everyone else just wants to get a kebab?<\/p><p>It\u2019s time to think that one more gin and tonic in your hometown could be four drinks wherever you\u2019re going, or even half a drink depending where you\u2019re going.<\/p><p>Either way you\u2019re going to need every last dollar you have and clever pre-drinking or going out on special\/student nights only will become your new thing, or even better? Maybe lay off the binge for a good few weeks?<\/p><p><b>Added Tip:<\/b> This is made easier if your second job means you work Friday or Saturday evenings. Be on the\u00a0 other side of the bar earning the money, not spending it.<\/p><h6>Estimated 6 month Saving: $100 night a week saved=$2600<\/h6><h2>Potential Total Estimated Savings: $10,870<\/h2><p><iframe class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/3ohzdIvnUKKjiAZTSU\" width=\"480\" height=\"269\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p><h5>How f$*#in cool does that sound?<\/h5><p>You can go travelling with <b>$10,870<\/b> by just being a bit smarter every week for half a year, and that\u2019s all extra savings as that\u2019s before the absolute number one saving tip of the weekly savings target.<\/p><p>Which of course is totally dependent on your income, but even if you could save $200 a week there then you\u2019re talking an extra $5200 which takes you over the\u00a0<b>$16,000 mark<\/b>.<\/p><p>There\u2019s no need to thank me, no honestly, seriously, don\u2019t worry about it\u2019s fine<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-82cf753 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"82cf753\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d7d6ec7\" data-id=\"d7d6ec7\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Backpacker Economics: Saving Tips For Your Big Trip\u2026 \u00a0 You\u2019ve booked your flights, you\u2019ve bought your journal and you\u2019ve started writing your bucket list for your travelling adventure.
