If you plan to join the ranks of holiday travelers, here are some tips to get you through the season with as little financial stress as possible.
In 2022, holiday travel is predicted to continue climbing back toward its pre-COVID-19 level, according to travel booking app Hopper. That means more of us on the road, at the airport and huddled around plates of overcooked turkey and mashed potatoes. For many Americans, that travel comes with a hefty price tag, often paid for with a credit card.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the price of gas rose 16.7% from September 2021 to September 2022. If you used to save $100 on travel costs to grandma's house by driving, you might now be saving much less, if anything at all. Our survey found that 20% of holiday travelers are planning to fly rather than drive due to fuel prices.
2. Start saving, and plan for repaymentsNo matter how you get there, traveling for the holidays is an expensive proposition for many Americans. While 66% of holiday travelers plan to put some or all of their holiday travel costs on a credit card, many are also hoping to save to pay for their plans, according to our survey. Among holiday travelers, just over a third say they're reducing everyday spending in order to save money to pay for that travel.
To avoid having your flights or gas bills looming over your Fourth of July next year, set up a repayment plan for yourself. You can start with NerdWallet’s credit card repayment calculator to figure out what you'll need to repay. Then, work that payment into a monthly plan so you can clear your debt and start saving for the 2023 holidays.

The 11 Most Engaging Driver's Cars On Sale TodayThere is no substitute, as Porsche says, for the 911. And the folks in Stuttgart are largely correct, given that the Porsche 911 has held the ranks of best driver's car since its inception. But the 911 has continued to rise in price, with the premium models like the GT3 and Turbo S approaching $200,000. If you want to have a 911 for the right price, however, Porsche has got you covered with its brand new Carrera T. Starting at $116,600, the Carrera T will come with a twin-turbo 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine from the 911 Carrera generating 379 hp and 331 lb-ft of torque, fed through a 7-speed manual transmission. Positioned between the base model and the Carrera S, the Carrera T comes standard with a rear seat delete, a mechanical limited-slip differential with Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV), and PASM Sport Suspension. Rear steering is option-able as well, as is an 8-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission. The Carrera T packs a good deal of driver amenities, such as 4-way adjustable Sport Seats Plus and the Sport Chrono Package. Ultimately, the Carrera T is for owners who really like to drive, and don't want anything distracting them from the task at hand.
