For many, travelling with friends or family is always a fun affair because you get to spend quality time and create wonderful memories together. But before going on the trip, there is that one issue that, while important, is not always easy to bring up – money.

Talking about budget with your group even before the trip begins is very important as it helps to ensure a smooth holiday. However, most of us tend to avoid talking about money as they can make some of us feel uncomfortable. This is possibly caused by the different income levels in the group and the kind of expectations that everyone may have of the trip. For example, some may be able to pay for a four-star accommodation, while others may prefer something in a lower price range.
