Spring break should be a fun, carefree time to relax and let loose. Avoid financial worries interfering with your good times by packing smart money habits along with your swimsuit and shades.

Tip #1 - Set a budget for total trip costs and withdrawal limits on your debit/credit cards. This prevents overspending.

Tip #2 - Leave excess cash, cards and valuables locked up safe in your room/hotel safe. Carry only what you need for each outing. Lower theft risk.

Tip #3 - Capture expenses with a budgeting app. Tracking spending helps spot overages quickly.

Tip #4 - Split bigger costs like hotel rooms, rental cars and event tickets with friends. Divide evenly.

Tip #5 - Room in a kitchenette suite and cook some simple affordable meals together. Groceries cost less than dining out constantly.

Tip #6 - Use public transit whenever possible. Walking also saves transportation cash.

Tip #7 - Avoid unnecessary souvenirs/shopping. Focus spending on memorable experiences with friends instead.

Employing these practical tips means you can soak up the full sun and fun of spring break without draining your bank account. Have an awesome trip!
