My own sister-in-law paid for travel to Hawaii by charging her son’s college tuition (this option, by the way, is no longer available with her card company). We prefer not to use credit. It’s a pain to use the points. Readers, I know most of you probably do use credit card rewards. Here is why.

Recently, an extended family trip to Hawaii got put on hold due to costs. As it turns out, my estimate for a 2 week trip to Hawaii (one week on Oahu and one on the Big Island) would have been over $20,000 US Dollars. Naturally, my spouse and I had a discussion on how much we wanted to fund for our two sons and their families.

Not many – but by planning ahead now you might find ways to lessen the expenses you will face next month and use the annual experience as a teachable moment in your child’s personal finance education. using what they already have. using what they already have. using tax free days. deciding between needs and wants.

But our best trip was in 2012, when we funded a trip to Yellowstone with our two sons, their wives and our grandchildren. Last year, my spouse and I took our 9 year old grandson on a road trip (from the US Midwest) to Colonial Williamsburg and toured Virginia for 10 days. Get commitments on the number of days they will agree to use.
