14 Summer Expenses to Start Saving For

The kids are almost finished with school for the year, nice weather’s on the way, and you’re ready to enjoy some fun in the sun. The only thing that could dampen your plans is your bank account. Summer brings a number of hidden expenses that could strain your budget if you’re not prepared for them.

Here are 14 summer expenses you should plan for. You may want to open a dedicated savings account so you can keep these funds separate from the rest of your money. Or you can use an existing savings account if you have one. Just make sure you know how much of that money is meant for summer expenses and how much is meant for long-term or emergency expenses.
