For many families, credit card debt is an expected consequence of a nice vacation: American Express reports that a family of four is likely to spend approximately $4,580 on a vacation.

Families who are on a tight budget may want to explore destinations nearby. Public places such as national parks and other recreation sites are worth considering for those who want to avoid the expense of traveling but still want to get away. People who have friends in other cities may consider staying at their place for a while or try swapping homes with relatives or friends. Similarly, because gasoline is still inexpensive, people may consider traveling by car instead of plane. Road tripping makes traveling considerably less expensive, especially since families can bring their favorite foods in a cooler and stay at affordable lodging facilities while on the road.
