Is Travel Out now that the Ecomony has Tanked?

By Chris Linch

I will agree with anybody that says the state of the economy is no the best. I do still feel that we need to get out and enjoy our lives, however. I don't know how bad it will end up, but if we can do things, we should.

Many travel agencies, hotels, airlines, and more are slashing prices just to attract people to their destination. I say go for it. I think right now is a great time to take advantage and go somewhere. Better to do it now than worry about it and not be able to do it for a long time.

I see it every day, there are great deals out there as you read this. You will be so disappointed in the future if you miss out on them. Right now is the time to book some travel and get out. Even if it is just a few days somwhere, that is better than sitting at home.

One thing we can say for sure is nobody knows what the economy will be like in 6 months to a year. It could go either way at this point. The fact is, however, life is too short to do nothing. I don't want people to blow their savings accounts that they might need to travel, but if you have a little extra money you might as well enjoy it, you will spend it elsewhere anyway, right?

Things will be just the same when you return. There is no reason not to take a little trip and forget about the day to day. It will make you feel much better upon your return. There is nothing wrong with looking for a budget deal, and not spending as much. Not traveling or doing anything though will only make things worse.
