A listener writes into the show to ask: how should you track vacation spending? Vacation is a time to relax and let loose a little, but the listener wants to make sure he is pacing the family's expenses during the trip so he doesn't go overbudget.

Jesse offers a few different options, including sophisticated use of categories to track the vacation spend without creating too much complexity.
