15 hidden summer expenses to budget for right now

Summer is the perfect time to relax, but that doesn’t mean you should get lax with your budget. There are some extra expenses that pop up during the warmer months. Here are 15 expenses you’ll want to think of as you get your budget ready for the summer.

1. Utilities

Your place doesn’t have to feel like a meat locker, but you’ll be boosting the air-conditioning to beat the heat. That said, here are a few ways to lower your AC bill during the summer.

2. Travel fees

There are a lot of different fees you encounter when you’re traveling that you wouldn’t otherwise, like checked baggage fees, skycap or even mobile data fees when you’re out of range. These are all things to think through ahead of time (and some may even be travel fees you don’t need to pay).

3. Banking fees

While we’re talking fees, let’s mention ATM fees and foreign transaction fees. If you travel somewhere where your bank doesn’t have ATMs and you need to get cash, you may get hit with a fee. If your credit card doesn’t waive foreign transaction fees, you’ll want to build that expense into your budget.

4. Sunscreen

Yes, I know we’re supposed to be using sunscreen on the daily, but the amount you use goes up in the summer. The good news is some Flexible Spending Accounts will cover sunscreen as long as it’s SPF 15 or greater, so check with your provider to see if you’re eligible.

5. Bug spray

Bye, mosquitoes.
