    What is everyone doing to save money during their vacations to India. I mean when u go you must be staying for 3 months at least. Are you paying rent ,utilities in USA all this time??? Do you put your utilities on vacation mode ?? It will be way too expensive paying in USA along with expenses in India.

    Please share suggestions !

    My bank doesn’t care whether I go on vacation or not. They just want to see the mortgage paid.

    This is when you own the house. But if you are paying rent then it is different. How about utilities ? Do you put utilities on vacation mode ? Even a small amount adds up ? What does everyone say ? And rent $1400 a month for 4 months it adds up ! What is everyone doing??

    It’s the same with rent, isn’t it? Your landlord expects you to fulfill your obligation regardless of where you choose to live. Where do you put your things if you don’t want to pay rent? You will have to pay to move, for storage, to break a lease if you have a contract, fees to sign a new lease and compete if you live in a tight rental market. I don’t know anyone who is willing to undergo such hassle once they cross the lean college and grad school days.

    Nope nothing changes. You pay rent for 4 months. may be you pay less for utilities due to usage.

    you want to save money. Break the lease. Put all your stuff in storage house and go. no other shortcuts.

    You can stop your cable, phone and internet service. If you’re not using electricity, heat and water your bill will be very low anyways. If you live in an apartment you have to follow the policy for utilities. If you are renting an individual house check your contract and with your landlord.
