[To put things in perspective] travel time to the Moon is about 3 days, Mars would be about 150 to 300 days (source: Google).

You don't have to use the cheapest, but slowest Hohmann transfer orbit to get to your destination. You can also spend more fuel and get there faster.

A bit of searching suggests that a mildly increased delta-v budget can get your half-year trip down to a quarter-year, but beyond that you're looking at ridiculous costs.
