Don't overindulge on the long weekend

Don't spend all your savings, at the end of the break you will need money for tickets and food.

If you have three or four days off from work that were not included in your vacation, don't be tempted to spend just out of boredom.
The director of the Soluciones MKT portal, Richard Díaz Chuquipiondo, and the director of the Master's in Finance at the UPC, Manuel Chu, provide some recommendations so that you can have fun without having to invest a lot of money:
1. No credit – Don’t take out a personal loan to spend on a meeting or a trip during these days. Debts are only justified for an emergency.
2. Stay away from the card – Only use plastic money if you are going to pay off the entire debt the following month.
3. Travel.– If you plan to leave the city tunisia number screening where you live, go to a nearby place. Remember that during long holidays, the prices of tickets, lodging and food double.
4.- Walk.– Another option is to go to a recreational park with the whole family or friends. You can find places, for example, in Chosica, from S/.10.
5. Mobility – If you are going to travel by car, make a list of the tolls so you know how much you will have to pay. Also identify where on the road there are gas stations in case you run out of fuel. If you are going to use public transport and have not bought a ticket, leave home early, otherwise you run the risk of not finding buses or of them being full. As the hours go by, prices go up.
6. Get together – Get together with a group of friends and have a small party at one of your friends’ houses. Each person can contribute cash to buy food and drinks.
7. At home – If you have children at home, do activities together such as preparing a dessert or doing some crafts. You can also visit parks to play sports.
8. Handicrafts – On a budget, you have the option of attending craft fairs or taking a walk through downtown Lima where you will find different activities such as street actors. You can also visit museums.
9. Offers – Use the virtual coupon books to analyze what's new for the long holidays. This will allow you to save and, at the same time, have fun during these days off.
