    Ep #7: How to Budget for Travel and Still Hit Your Financial Goals

    Most financial plans have a spot for retirement, a house, maybe your kids' education. Travel? It usually just gets absorbed into "discretionary spending"... until it causes guilt or ends up on a credit card.My wife and I just got back from two weeks in Spain, and it got me thinking about travel differently: not as a splurge you apologize for, but as a real financial goal, one that deserves a name, a target, and its own savings plan.In this episode, I break down:✅ Why travel deserves its own line item in your financial plan (not just "leftover money")✅ What two weeks away from your normal spending routine actually reveals about your money habits✅ Why travel guilt is usually a planning problem in disguise (and how to fix it)Whether you're a frequent traveler who feels weird about the cost, or someone who's never actually planned for a trip and just "makes it work" every time, this one's for you.---Wealth and Plan is a Registered Investment Adviser in the state of Texas, Louisiana, and in other jurisdictions where exempt from registration.
