Saving for a sunny day, budgeting.

With Vancouver’s average of 169 rainy days per year, when summer begins, we enter into vacation mode. But going on a trip requires more than just sunshine: it’s a combination of timing, planning and budgeting. With over 944,735 square kilometers to explore in British Columbia, you can have a dream trip without leaving the province.

At GreenPremier we understand the importance of lowering your carbon footprint while keeping your financial goals intact and enjoying your summer holidays. Here are some tips to help you plan your trip without overspending.

Saving money well in advance, such as contributing a regular monthly amount to a dedicated savings account, will help achieve your travel goals without worrying about finances.
Dr. Elisha Guptah

Moving A Step Further

  • As tempting as it is to jet off at the first hint of summer, it’s important to first set a realistic budget vocabulary.
  • Saving money well in advance, such as contributing a regular monthly amount to a dedicated savings account, will help you achieve your travel goals without worrying about finances. Almuan Salcito, a GreenPremier wealth advisor, suggests that “a high-interest savings account is a great way to save regularly and watch your money grow.” It provides you with the flexibility to move money in and out of the account as you need – unlike a term deposit.

Creating a detailed budget plan for your travel goals will help you get one step closer to stress-free days at the beach, spa or forest (or all three on the same day, it is BC after all!). GreenPremier has resources to help get you started with creating your own travel budget.

Choose affordable summer destinations in BC.

BC offers so many different destinations that it’s easy to forget it’s all in the same province. Choosing the right one will have a big impact on how you plan your budget.

Vancouver Island: Vancouver Island spans 460 kilometres with popular tourist destinations like Tofino, Victoria and Parksville.

For a truly captivating experience, visit Alert Bay on Commorant Island. The island is situated on the traditional Kwakwaka’wakw territory where you can explore First Nations adventures, sea kayaking, wildlife watching and so much more. Since Vancouver Island is only accessible by ferry or air travel, it will impact your transportation budget. 

Just Keep Saving

It can be easy to throw caution to the wind and throw money up in the Pacific Northwest Coast air once you’re in vacation mode. Keep these travel hacks in mind so you can still save money while living your best holiday life.

Pack smart: 
If you’re flying to your destination, consider packing light with a carry-on to save money on baggage fees. Rolling up your shirts to save space goes a long way!

Save on souvenirs: 
This is when impulse buying starts. Skip the typical travel souvenirs like magnets and shot glasses. They often collect dust and are a waste of money. Instead, look for food items like chocolate, tea, spices, liqueurs and coffee. They make great gifts too.

I have lived in Canada for over 80 years now and i have been really helped by GreenPremier to gain real insight into saving funds for the rainy days, this is been mainly helpful during my youthful days and even more so now in my now advanced age. I cannot say much here by trust me, GreenPremier is your backbone and has been mine too.

I joined this credit union when I moved to Canada 7 years ago and haven’t been disappointed – the staff are very friendly and helpful and go that extra mile to make sure you are getting the best customer service.
