You already broke the bank paying for your plane ticket and your hotel, plus you're taking a hit on lost work study hours. Don't let a silly thing like running out of dough ruin your break. Just remember that sometimes, when it comes to securing $ for partying, you gotta do what you gotta do...
1. There's No Free Lunch--But Maybe Free Breakfast
Find out if your hotel is one of the many that offers free breakfast. Check the hours and set your alarm if you must. Loading up early in the morning can keep you going for a few hours.
2. Buy One Get One Free Coupons
All those tourist coupons scattered around your hotel can come in handy. Many of them offer "buy one entrée, get one free" deals at area eateries, so link up with a cash-carrying pal and get your grub on--gratis!
3. Procurin' Pesos
Got a knack for getting Spring Breakers in the sack? Spread the love for some loot: sell your pick-up lines to clueless Spring Breakers for a dollar each. Jay-Z makes millions off his witty verses, so you figure you could at least squeeze a few coins from your wack ones. Spit a few rhymes on the street corner and collect duckets in a cup.You can also put your puny muscles to work by helping travelers carry their bags at the airport for a dollar each.
4. Bar Scams
If you're super-hot, you can pose for pesos. Charge ugly dudes a dollar to take a photo with them to give 'em something to brag about back home. The sexier the shot, the more you charge. But alas, if your own efforts for generating greenbacks don't work, then proceed to the last resort…
5. Wire Your Worries Away
"Mom? Yeah, it's me. I'm in Cancun and I was wondering if you could do me a little favor…"
Mommy or Aunt Martha can wire you funds in a dash if you run out of cash. Most banks can handle the transfer (Cancun banks tend to stay open weekdays 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) and even the usual suspects like Western Union can get you money south of the border.
