Why you need a vacation (and how to afford it)

Are you one of the 41% of Americans not planning on using vacation days? Then you are missing out. Not only is it costing you in forfeited benefits, but also your health and well-being. Studies show taking an annual vacation has been linked to a decrease in heart disease. It’s also important for your mental health and stress levels.

But in this day and age, who can afford a vacation? Between increasing airfare costs, food and activities, the expenses can be downright startling. But in actuality, a trip does not need to cost a fortune. By maximizing deals and stacking travel savings, you can save hundreds (or even thousands). In fact, based on the US average salary, a person not taking a vacation is losing $1863 in forfeited benefits. Why not put that money toward your next vacation? We’ve broken down the forfeited benefits and subsequent trips you can take with that cash in this infographic.
