Spring Break that Doesn't Break the Budget



Spring break is right around the corner!  What are your plans?  Each year, it amazes me the number of students that go to some exotic place and have a great time, but then complain about how much college costs and how they’ll be in debt forever.  Take this tweet, for example.

Does cost factor into your decision on how you spend your spring break?  If not, I encourage you to stop and think about it.  Is a week of fun worth the long-term effect on your wallet?  Are there places you could go, things you could do that would be less expensive?

U.S. News & World Report has compiled a list of the 10 Best Cheap Spring Break Destinations. 
Here is their Top 10:

  1. Myrtle Beach
  2.  Daytona
  3. Cancun
  4. Puerto Rico
  5. South Padre
  6. Nashville
  7. Punta Cana
  8. San Diego
  9. Austin
  10. New Orleans

Are any of these on your list?  Any other recommendations?  Have fun!
