Especially When Funds Are Low, and You Need a Break From the Job

You need a break, and the budget is tight. Despite the catchy commercial, that new smartphone with all the fancy features has to wait. Sometimes, you have vacation days, need a break from the job, and don't have money to take you and the family on an out-of-town breather. Relaxation offers a much-needed escape from the daily drudgery, allowing us to unwind and savor life's moments free from our everyday obligations. However, the rising costs of travel, coupled with a low-paying job—real wages are falling—often transform the pursuit of relaxation into a source of stress. If wanderlust calls you, but the budget is too small, consider a staycation—a crafty way to escape without leaving your city limits.
