Saving for a trip?

So what do you know? Graduation is right around the corner and you don’t know any idea of what to do with yourself now. I have an idea. How about a much-deserved trip to a place that you have never been? Sound like something you would want to do? Well that is exactly how I felt. When I graduated college in May of 2009, I found myself in the position of having the desire to take a trip but found myself short on money to do actually take a trip. I turned to Gimmepleez to share my goal with family and friends. What I did is I made a small print out listing the website and my goal, and I included it with my graduation invitation. That way, when family and friends got the invite to come to my graduation or maybe just an invite to the after party, they knew exactly what I wanted without even having to think about it. It was like, wow, Jon is finally graduating from college, and look at this, he is trying to save for a trip to Italy. What better way to share a savings goal than during a time when family and friends are already planning of getting you a gift. It worked great from me. I raised nearly $1000.
