The summer is officially here! This is usuallt a time for many of us to hit the road and take those long awaited summer vacations.
However, the economic situation is having some rethink their summer vacation plans and anticipated spending.
Are you reconsidering summer plans due to the economic environment? If so, what will you plan to do instead?
Yes (59.1%)
No (21.8%)
Maybe, I haven't decided yet (19.1%)
We have a big 12 passenger van and it takes $100 too fill it up. Its either eat or go on vacation?
We usually take a cruise every year but with the high cost of gas (we commute for our jobs) we have to use it to put in the cars! So we decided to skip it this year and just try to hunt out free events in our own community.
We take our main vacation in the fall, we fly to the Caribbean, and in the summer we usually picnic and spend time with friends and family. We won't sacrifice that time with the folks we love who may or may not be here for us to enjoy this time next year, just for gas prices. We may cut back a bit, but we won't change plans completely and just NOT do things.
We may cut back abit on some things but the kids have to have a vacation so we will be taking ours this summer as usual.
Just going to cut back on amount available to spend due to increase cost of gasoline.
gas is too expensive to go anywhere but around my tiny litte town for me....
Hopefully I can do it before gas prices get too ridiculous!
The price of everything is going up . . .
We don't normally take summer vacations. This is my husbands busiest time of year to work.
We only have one trip "planned" and are really shopping around for deals on hotels and such. With gas so high, distance is the biggestest factor of course. We are keeping an eye on airline and hotels rates before making a final decision.
