HOW MUCH DOES A HONEYMOON COST?
If you honeymoon in the States, figure an average cost
of $447. If you join the surge to the Caribbean, put the tab
at $600. If you go to Bermuda, expect to spend more on
your hotel than transportation. If you want to stay at the
most popular honeymoon spots, choose Miami Beach over
Niagara Falls, Majorca over Paris.
How much does a honeymoon cost?
In deference to your requests, today's column continues
my financial guide to the big moments of life. So far, I ve
reported how much it costs a bride to tie up her husband
lesally and how little it costs a groom to take a wife on
the Ereat day. Once the vows are said, though, the husband
takes over and his first major expense is the honeymoon
There are so many variations on honeymoon expenses
that, says the American Express Co., we must invent
mythical couple. Okay, you're invented, you're an average
groom among the estimated 1.7 million being married this
year and you're submitting typical questions.
How lone is the average honeymoon and what is the
average cost? Eight days, and a recent "Modern Bride" sur
vey estimates the cost at $447 for honeymoons within the
States, $600 for a visit to the Caribbean Islands.
What are costs at the most popular spots today? Here
we must ignore countless variationi and operate in round
figures. A couple going to Miami Beach for an eight-day
honeymoon can expect to spend about $400. If you choose
Bermuda, plan on about $675, with transportation talcing
$240, hotel $345. If you go to Puerto Rico or the Virgin
Islands, figure on about $600. If you choose traditional
Niagara Falls despite its fall from top place ior honey
mooners, estimate the cost at $350 to $400. If your dream
is a cruise to Bermuda and Nassau, your seven-eight day
holiday should cost $550 to $600.
How do honeymooners in the States travel to resorts?
The "Modern Bride" survey indicates 77 per cent go by car,
about 10 per cent fly, the rest use rail or sea transportation.
What about a honeymoon In Europe? In this case, you
must have at least two or three weeks to make it worthwhile
because of the cost of transportation. For instance, if you
want to spend half your honeymoon in Majorca, the rest in
London and Paris, your cost of transportation alone win run
well over $1,000 unless you get on a charter. The diffi
culty with charters is that they usually run a month and
rennire at least six months' membership within a group. If
you're lucky enough to get on a charter, though, your trans-
portation costs would be cut about 40 per cent. Your expenses
in Europe are subject to wild variation, dui American ex
press suggests an average of $10 to $15 per person per day.
What about honeymoon costs in big cities? Again, the
costs of honeymooning in such cities as New York, New Or
leans, San Francisco, etc., vary immensely, but you, as a
typical couple spending eight days in one of these cities,
should expect to spend between $400 and $500. You prob
ably could cut costs if you use a car to get to your destina
tion. Do travel agents have specific tours for honeymooners?
None that I can find. They usually recommend the popular
spots mentioned above. There are, of course, package tours.
What are discernible trends to guide future honeymoon
ers? Group fares to Europe and other parts of the world
will become increasingly regularised, and as this occurs
fares will be cut 40 to 50 per cent. This will permit more
and more young Americans to go overseas for their honey
moons, but to do this you will have to study carefully the
rules for chartered flights and know how ie use the flights
tor your purposes.
Travel to the Caribbean will continue to grow. This part
of the Western Hemisphere has been opening to all ty?ei
of tourists on an ever-rising scale since the early 1950's,
and honeymooners love it.
Low-cost "package" trips by air, rail, bus will be avail
able in mounting variety to resort areas and interesting cities
from coast to coast. The fly-drive combinatoin deal under
which you fly to your destination, then rent a car will
spread too.
The average duration of the honeymoon of the future will
be longer and you'll travel farther and farther from home.

Government Opens Campaign To Lure Dollars Back Home
WEDNESDAY. JULY 17. 1963
A 7
Washington -OT0- The gov.
ernment today opened an in
tensified campaign to reduce
the balance of payments defi
cit by luring dollars away
from more attractive invest
ment markets outside U.S.
borders.
It set off a chain reaction
of economic forces expected
to push up U.S. short-term
interest rates slightly to make
them more competitive with
those of foreign banks.
Kennedy To Report
The White House has an
nounced that on Thursday
President Kennedy would
give Congress a progress re
port on the U.S. balance of
payments problem which is
a source of growing appre
hension both here and abroad
Kennedy is not expected
to prescribe new, untried
medicine. Instead, it is be
lieved that he will recom
mend adhering to the present
policy, only with renewed
efforts.
The United States ended
1962 with a $2.2 billion bal-
ance of payments deficit. This
shot up to an estimated an
nual rate of $3.3 billion dur
ing the first three months of
this year.

Millionaires Said
Being Produced
At Record Clip
Washington (UPO The na-
tion is producing millionaires
at the fastest clip since the
get-rich-quick era of the late
1920s.
The Internal Revenue Ser
vice in its latest tabulation
on the subject-reported to
day that 398 persons filed
returns showing $1 million
or more income in 1961.
This was the largest num
ber since 1929 when the
stock market was at the peak
of its stratospheric binge.
and the total of $1 million
taxpayers hit a record 513.
Ninety-two new faces were
added to this select group
in 1961, the biggest increase
since 1928 when the number
spurted by 221.
The IRS statistics show
only those who reported
earning $1 million or more
during the 1961 tax year.
Authorities on the distribu
tion of U. S. wealth estimate
there are a lot more Ameri
cans who are worth $1 mil
lion today.
Some have placed the num
ber as high as 100,000.
No Names Mentioned
Government tax reports, of
course, mention no names.
But from these studies, it is
possible to get a statistical
profile of the average $1 mil
lion taxpayer in 1961. 1 1
would look something like
this:
The average top bracket
taxpayer had an adjusted
gross income of about $2 mil
lion. He paid about $800,000
in income taxes.
Most likely he was on a
payroll, although his income
from salaries was a drop in
the bucket-to him, anyway.
The biggest chunk of his
earnings came from profits
on the sale of such items as
stocks and property.
The IRS Millionaires Club
accounted for about .8 per
cent of all taxes paid in 1961.
By contrast, those In the
$6,000 to $7,000 bracket paid
4 per cent of all taxes col
lected that year.
