This year, I'm determined to stick to my budget, but I also want to make sure I enjoy my time off. Do you have any practical advice on how to plan a summer vacation that's both financially responsible and enjoyable?Finally, Grant concludes the discussion by highlighting Affinity’s Cash Back Debit card, a great checking account where you can earn 1% cashback on purchases for up to $1,000 a month to help you earn more toward your financial goals.Just a reminder if you have a question or comment for a future Member Mailbag segment, please send it to @affinityfcu on Facebook or X/Twitter with #MemberMailbag.Rate, like, and subscribe for more from the Wellbeing and Your Wallet podcast.
