Summer is here so the beach is calling some of you, mountains are the destination of others. Personally, I prefer the cool shade of the mountains rather than the blistering sun of the shore, but humidity sometimes makes even shade unbearable! Give me a healthy dose of air conditioner!
If you are making plans to travel, though, you should plan ahead to keep your home safe from would-be thieves in your absence. Lynnae at BeingFrugal.net provides some great tips on what to think about before you leave:
Put your Lights on Timers – If you can’t line up a house sitter, make sure your lights are on timers. Timers are not that expensive, and setting the lights to go on and off will make your home look lived in.
Great suggestions – all of them when you go take a look at the Being Frugal site! One of the ideas was to get a housesitter during your absence. I had several part-time jobs housesitting before I got married, so you know college student (the responsible ones) would love to help you out there. Just give them some food and slide them $50 for their trouble.
Enjoy your vacation!
