Took my first post-grad vacation to central america. Threw $1.2k into the "vacation" savings bucket, and spent exactly that on the vacation itself.
And then I had rental car issues. And then flight issues, where I had to buy another flight back (weather = missed connection, airline couldn't get me back for three more days). Two last-minute nights in a hotel trying to get back. All in all... $900 in unexpected expenses.
Fortunately, I was able to withdraw from my emergency fund. But I need to know... do you guys just normally save twice your expected vacation costs before you go somewhere in case the worst happens? Do you withdraw from e-fund if your luck shits the bed? What do you do?
