Effects of Travel Expenses on Student Loans
A recent CheapTickets survey found that 70% of graduates aged 22 to 32 say their student loans prevent them from traveling more, and a quarter of those surveyed would spend money on travel before they shop or invest if they didn’t have to pay their loans for a year3. Additionally, 1 in 5 respondents would give up streaming TV and forego their wedding in order to graduate from college debt-free.
CheapTickets has teamed up with an expert on millennial money and careers for advice and strategies on living and traveling with student loan debt Tori Dunlap. Dunlap founded Her First $ 100,000 Combat financial inequality by providing women with actionable resources to supplement their money.
“Student loans prevent millennials from living the life they want, including travel,” said Dunlap. “With over 2/3 of American student loans held by women, I think it’s great that CheapTickets is focused on helping them pay off their debts – one step closer to financial freedom!”
CheapTickets also shares a list 10 travel destinations that are huge summer bargains right now – including New York City, Miami and Fort Lauderdale – in addition to the best tips and tools for travelers to save money.
- Find Travel Freebies: Plan your trip on days with free entry to museums and attractions, find hotels with free breakfasts, and use free (or almost free) public transit instead of carpooling.
- Look for the stars: Open your search for 2- and 3-star hotels outside of popular city centers and neighborhoods – but along public transport – for a lower room rate in top destinations.
- Look for last-minute deals: The cheapest time to book a package tour is often just a week before the start of your trip. To get an idea of what’s possible within your budget, try CheapTickets’ Vacation value finder. The interactive tool recommends travel destinations from the price you can pay in advance.
