Think you can’t afford a vacation because of your income? I used to feel the same way—until I figured out how to budget differently. In this video, I’m breaking down the real, honest truth about saving for a vacation on a low income — no fluff, no pressure, and no giving up the things you need to survive.
I’ll show you exactly how I’m building my vacation fund one paycheck at a time — with real numbers, real strategies, and real life in mind.
You’ll learn:
• How I set a realistic savings goal
• What I actually cut (not subscriptions!)
• How I use small wins to stay motivated
• Budget visuals + a FREE vacation tracker (click the link below)

Hey Kris!! Catching up on videos. You go girl!! Being under budget is amazing!!!! Where we going next??? 😊
Great tips
I’m here 5 months later and this is so relevant for me. I was thinking how could I save for vacation with so much debt and an emergency fund looking real skinny 😅 . I would love to visit the Virgin Islands or an all inclusive resort with my kids.
Great video!! I love how you give us a number to go off like 9 months ❤
