I found a new word from a recent story in Freakonomics:
Staycation: Vacationing at home to save money.
As a broke ass student I am constantly taking staycations. The pluses of a staycation are:
1. It is affordable.
2. I enjoy the food.
3. I don't have to exchange my American dollars to a currency that diminishes the value of my meager earnings.
4. I don't have to pack.
5. I don't have to deal with flight delays.
6. I'm able to catch up with chores around the house.
7. My body doesn't have to regulate itself to a different time zone.
The minuses of a staycation are:
1. I'm reminded about how broke I am
2. I gotta cook for myself and hope the hubby cleans the dishes.
3. I end up doing chores in the house.
4. I end up sleeping more than I should.
5. I get to go nowhere, thus missing out on new adventures.
I've noticed a lot of folks I know, are also taking more staycations. Feel free to comment on the pluses and minuses of a staycation.
