I hope everyone has started talking within your own family about a personal financial plan to be able to come to the family reunion. By now, everyone should have an idea of how much you need to put away per month to cover airfare, car rental, lodging and spare cash on hand. Remember, airfare and car rental is your responsibility. Lodging will be a split cost between 6 families.
Most of us have or will have enough air miles to cover one or more airline tickets, so that can help reduce the cost that needs to be put away per month. For those who live in Alaska, Permanent Fund Dividends could be another addition toward your financial planning. If you know that you'll get a refund from your tax return (sarcastic laugh), that could also help alleviate the cost saved.
If you haven't discussed your family savings yet, please start. The sooner you save, the less stress you'll be facing as the family reunion date approaches.
Many of you were totally upset about the cancellations of the committee's. I know, I know... But don't worry. I'll be delegating a bunch of responsibilities out to all of you a year or so prior to the reunion date. So, just enjoy the calm right now. It's gonna be crazy-busy-awesome when the reunion gets closer.
Take care!
