Don�t Cancel Vacation...Barter For It!

If there�s an economic slowdown in your life (you�re just meeting the bills every month) don�t consider taking action that you might regret later on�like canceling your vacation. That practice should carry a Surgeon General�s warning: Canceling your vacation is dangerous to your health.

If you are considering canceling a vacation, and if you have a choice in the matter, don�t do it. A growing body of research links long-term vacation habits and health.

A 14-year study of 13,000 men, published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, found annual vacations sharply reduced the risks of death among middle-aged men.

Similarly, a 20-year study of middle-aged women found a link between a lack of vacations and higher risk of hearth attack and death. Both studies conclude vacationing may be good for your health.

So if you�re questioning your own vacation plans because of the economic downturn, or money is a problem, it�s time to place a call to your trade broker.

See what�s available locally and nationally through your barter company, then make those plans that suit your desires. Whatever you do, don�t cancel that vacation...it could be dangerous to your health!
