I'm planning on going to Costa Rica this summer with a friend. Luckily, one of her good friends is a travel agent so she has really helped us with the planning. We're looking forward to staying at an all inclusive resort near the beach.
The trip should cost us somewhere around $2000. Since I'm a visual person, I made myself an "Adventure Fund" jar to keep in my room so that I can have something tangible to track my progress. I have enough in my savings to pay for the trip, but maybe I can stash away enough cash in my jar so that I don't have to tap in to my savings.
DIY Adventure Fund Jar:
- Glass jar
- Masking tape
- Krylon chalkboard paint
- Craft Smart chalk marker
Current Savings: $338.25
Target: $2000
Progress: 17%
I also made an Oregon 2014 Adventure Fund jar to give to JR for Valentine's Day. Since it was a gift, I didn't really want it to smell like pickles so I bought a mason jar and a lid with a coin slot (purchased on etsy). To add to the gift, I purchased a gift cards to a beer tasting tour and to VooDoo Doughnut.
