You book a vacation at some pricey locale\u2014depending on your circumstances, \u201cpricey\u201d could mean Europe, Disney World, or perhaps an oceanfront hotel room at a nice beach\u2014and wait anxiously for your time in Paradise to arrive. Meanwhile, you make your flight reservations. You buy a new outfit (or two, or three). You search the Internet for great restaurants and must-do activities. And when vacation time finally arrives, you jump in with utter abandon.<\/p>\n<p>At some point\u2014perhaps as you sip an overpriced poolside drink\u2014you feel a twinge of worry:\u00a0<em><strong>This is getting expensive<\/strong><\/em>. But it\u2019s not until you get back home that you realize,\u00a0<em><strong>Yikes, we spent $5,000 in one week!<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0\u2026and that\u2019s when the sick feeling in your stomach\u00a0<em><strong>really<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0kicks in.<\/p>\n<p>Donna Skeels Cygan wants to know: Are these lavish vacations really worth the price tag? Do they make you happy? And if not\u2014why do you keep overspending?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor too many of us, financial responsibility goes out the window on vacations\u2014it\u2019s like we\u2019re splurging on an excessive, indulgent meal after weeks of healthy eating,\u201d says Cygan, author of\u00a0<em><strong>The Joy of Financial Security: The art and science of becoming happier, managing your money wisely, and creating a secure financial future<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0(Sage Future Press, 2013, ISBN: 978-0-989-77844-2, $24.95,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mmsend2.com\/link.cfm?r=19927737&amp;sid=43724667&amp;m=4999419&amp;u=RocksPR&amp;j=19716377&amp;s=http:\/\/www.thejoyoffinancialsecurity.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.thejoyoffinancialsecurity.com<\/a>). \u201cBut like overeating, spending without limits can have unpleasant aftereffects and reduce our happiness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe irony is that an event that\u2019s supposed to be all about happiness\u2014vacation\u2014ends up making us unhappy,\u201d she adds. \u201cClearly, we really don\u2019t understand what creates happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In\u00a0<em><strong>The Joy of Financial Security<\/strong><\/em>, Cygan, who owns a successful financial advisory firm, combines her expertise with research from the fields of psychology and neuroscience to shine a light on this topic. She says lavish spending does not make us happy at all (at least not for long). Sane, smart money management\u2014which\u00a0<em><strong>should<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0include vacation spending\u2014<em><strong>does<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0bring joy.<\/p>\n<p>But before you can change your vacation habits, you must first know why you do it. Here, Cygan shares seven truths about why we do it\u2014and what\u00a0<em><strong>actually<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0makes us happy:<\/p>\n<p><strong>We book vacations \u201cmindlessly\u201d without truly understanding our own values and preferences.<\/strong>\u00a0How often have you booked a trip to some overhyped destination just because it\u2019s what you do every year\u2026or because it\u2019s what the neighbors are doing\u2026or because you\u2019re seduced by a slick ad promising a \u201cdiscounted\u201d (but still pricey) air fare and hotel rate? And how often have you done so without considering that, actually, a couple of long weekends in a rustic cabin in the mountains might actually be more in keeping with what you really enjoy?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany people would be happier pursuing quieter, more off-the-beaten-path, yet still deeply fulfilling experiences\u2014hiking, bike riding, playing in the creek with their kids\u2014than crowding into some overpriced tourist trap,\u201d notes Cygan. \u201cBut often, they don\u2019t realize this about themselves. Do some soul searching this summer and ask yourself what really brings you joy before you get out the credit cards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeware, especially, of the luxury trap,\u201d she adds. \u201cIn our supersized, commercially driven culture, luxury is seen as the pinnacle of happiness. You might assume the lavish beachfront room is going to be sooo much better than the hotel a few blocks back from the ocean, so you shell out for it. But really, the far lower price tag would likely give you a sense of control that feels much better than the fleeting ocean view.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>We underestimate the joy of financial self-control.<\/strong>\u00a0Self-deprivation and frugality may not sound like fun. But the truth is, controlling our money feels good. Conversely, spending without limits feels bad. The initial rush you may get from spending large amounts on extravagant vacations quickly wears off\u2014and it does not equate to more fun, greater happiness, or better memories. In fact, credit card debt often leads to long-lasting anxiety and unhappiness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are many things in life we\u00a0<em><strong>can\u2019t<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0control,\u201d Cygan points out. \u201cThat\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to pay attention to the things we\u00a0<em><strong>can<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0control and to be aware of their impact on our happiness. Remember, you control the process of planning your vacations. You control where you go and how much you spend. Plan a vacation that you can afford and live within your means. You\u2019ll find that when you control the controllables, you\u2019ll feel much more at peace\u2014even if you\u2019re not at a five-star resort\u2014because you aren\u2019t worrying about how you\u2019re going to pay for everything!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>We feel entitled to an expensive vacation since we work so hard.<\/strong>\u00a0Have you ever noticed that when hardworking, otherwise-responsible people get into \u201cvacation mode,\u201d they go crazy? They\u2019ve had their noses to the grindstone all year and think,\u00a0<em><strong>This is my vacation\u2014my escape! I should make the most of this and do whatever I want, because in a week, I\u2019ll be back on the hamster wheel at work!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe irony is that we\u2019re racking up bills we\u2019ll have to work even harder to pay off,\u201d notes Cygan. \u201cIn fact, you may be living your whole life like this: spending, spending, spending on a big house, a new car, all the latest electronics because your hard work means that you \u2018deserve\u2019 it. Then you have to work even harder to sustain the lifestyle that you\u2019re not really enjoying at all. It\u2019s a vicious cycle that many people never break because they never realize that the source of their unhappiness is, in fact, all of the \u2018stuff\u2019 they\u00a0<em><strong>thought<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0would bring them joy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>We\u2019re victims of instant gratification.<\/strong>\u00a0In a world of fast food, two-day shipping, video streaming, and stores that are open 24 hours, most of us aren\u2019t used to waiting long to get what we want. Which is (at least partially) why we tend to go ahead and book that big trip\u00a0<em><strong>right now<\/strong><\/em>, even if it doesn\u2019t exactly fit into our budgets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you don\u2019t have the money in hand to pay for the vacation you want, accept that it\u2019ll have to wait a year or two and start saving\u2014don\u2019t buy into the \u2018I\u2019ll pay for it later\u2019 rationalization,\u201d Cygan advises. \u201cI encourage people to consider where they would like to go within the context of what their current budget will allow. A trip to a nearby national park can maximize your happiness and provide just as many great memories as a trip to Europe. Taking an expensive trip that threatens your financial security is simply not wise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>We rationalize the spending with \u201cfamily time.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0The media, the advertising industry, and \u201cthe Joneses\u201d have convinced us that the \u201cbest\u201d quality time happens at an expensive theme park or on a resort vacation. And with very little arm-twisting, we buy into it. We tell ourselves,\u00a0<em><strong>Yeah, this trip is stretching the budget a bit, but the family time we\u2019ll get is priceless!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s\u00a0<em><strong>really<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0good for your family is financial security,\u201d promises Cygan. \u201cIf your family spends one week on a blowout vacation, but then your kids hear you worrying about money for the next six months, which experience do you think will impact them more deeply? Also, it\u2019s worth noting that you\u2019ll interact more meaningfully and get in more \u2018quality time\u2019 on a camping trip than at a theme park that\u2019s full of distractions!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Once there, we get into \u201cvacation mode\u201d and lose sight of the long-term view.<\/strong>\u00a0You may be familiar with the manic spending spree that often happens on vacation. Drunk on the sensation of being \u201cfree\u201d from the routines of work and home, you hit all the tourist destinations, dine out in the best restaurants (often gorging on drinks, appetizers, and desserts in addition to the main course), buy new clothes at the local outlet stores, and snap up tons of souvenirs. All of this ratchets the bill on an already expensive vacation into the stratosphere.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s like being outside our normal routine causes us to forget that there will be a day of reckoning when the bills come due,\u201d observes Cygan. \u201cWe take a short-term view, go crazy, and spend. I think this trend is exacerbated by the fact that credit cards\u2014today\u2019s primary method of payment\u2014are so easy to use. You might think twice while writing out a check or digging cash out of your wallet, but swiping a credit card just doesn\u2019t provide that kind of reality check.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we would just slow down, pay attention, and let the rational part of our brain take over, we\u2019d realize that money spent on vacation comes out of the same limited bank account we use at home,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We fail to practice mindfulness and gratitude.<\/strong>\u00a0When you go on vacation, where is your mindset? Are you truly enjoying the present moment, or are you thinking about other things:\u00a0<em><strong>What\u2019s next on the list? Where should we eat for dinner? What would be a good souvenir to take back for Grandma? I\u2019ll be upset if we don\u2019t get to do XYZ activity. I wish Junior would stop whining.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0(Maybe even,\u00a0<em><strong>I\u2019m afraid to check the account balance!<\/strong><\/em>) According to Cygan, our failure to be mindful of and thankful for the here and now contributes a great deal to our unhappiness\u2026and our tendency to \u201ctreat\u201d it by spending more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe really need to stay in the moment when we\u2019re on vacation, because where we place our attention determines our attitude,\u201d she says. \u201cPsychology research tells us that interacting meaningfully with family and friends will make us happier than spending money on more \u2018things.\u2019 So slow down and spend some time just lounging at the hotel pool instead of rushing out to spend more money. Really talk to your spouse and\/or kids for once, instead of allowing everyone to tap away at their smartphone screens during dinner. When you\u2019re grateful, you don\u2019t need to fill some inner void by acquiring stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMoney does not buy happiness, but how much of it you do (or don\u2019t) have definitely impacts your happiness,\u201d concludes Cygan. \u201cThe truth is, having a sense of control over your budget might just be the key that enables you to take the most enjoyable vacation you\u2019ve had in years. Don\u2019t discount the power of managing your money wisely!\u201d<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\u00a0<script>\/\/ <![CDATA[\ngoogle_ad_client =
