As we get closer to the summer, many of us may be preparing for vacation in all kinds of exotic locations. Part of the reason why we take holidays in the first place is to find a place to just relax. At the same time, you want to spend your money carefully. Saving a dollar is much the same as earning an extra dollar.

I hope I’m wrong about the latter.
