Leaving Home for the Holidays

Are you traveling this holiday season? Most Americans are staying close to home, but one in four are taking a road trip this year. There are a whopping 93.3 million travelers planning to journey at least 50 miles from home between last Saturday and January 1, according to the American Automobile Association.

Most of them, by far, are traveling by car, a total of 90 percent. They'll travel an average of 760 miles and spend $759, including an average of $3.42 for a gallon of gas.

And the majority of them, two thirds overall, are traveling to be with friends or family, with the rest of them going away on vacation. No matter where you'll be this season, all of us here at Echelon Wealth wish you a joyous holiday.
