A Personal finance blog to get rich
It’s an exciting time. You’re about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime — living full-time in your RV. The only problem? You’ve never done this before. Do you lack something? Is the van life going to be all roses and sunshine?
With this blog post, I want to share ten things I learned (some the hard way) that will help make your transition from home life to being on the road smoother and more enjoyable.
Do you know that there are flight delay and cancellation benefits for travelers?
To boot, US regulations do not look after air passenger rights much the same as Europe does.
Don’t cringe on the subject, by looking at the title.
I won’t ask you to stop watching TV and movies.
In the world of frugality, some people can take “saving money” too far.
We watch movies every weekend night. My favorite genre is the War and thrillers. Whenever I get to see a movie on finance (management or mismanagement) I tend to see them first over my thrillers. I watched the movie “The Big Short” on the first day it was released. Here are 4 great films inspired by the world of finance.
The financial world has its ups and downs and history has shown that drama follows those in the market. From running boiler rooms and using high-pressure tactics to sell to betting against the market to make millions – it’s no surprise that the finance world has inspired some of the best films to grace Hollywood.
It’s difficult to eat a healthy diet while traveling because you are away from home. Strange schedules, restaurant food, and endless snack buffets can wreak havoc on your diet. I admit burgers and sandwiches are our staple diet while on travel. We can’t stick to a strict diet plan when we are on the move
Travel is stressful which affects your metabolism, and it can be even more difficult to keep to a healthy diet if you are traveling with companions who are going out to eat and drink every night. While it can be a challenge, it is possible to eat healthy even when you are traveling.
Have you ever backpacked? Once we did during the first year after coming to the USA. We went to Florida, Georgia area for a couple of weeks. Probably to date, our best travel experience. We didn’t see a wonder, no show, no cruise, no star hotels or restaurants. But it was the best way we could have known the new country. Today, I’ll write about ways to save money while backpacking.
Traveling across the globe can be one of the most rewarding, self-reflective experiences one could have. A lot of people, however, do not feel like this is an affordable option for them. Everyone should have the opportunity to get out there and explore the world at least once in a lifetime.
This is a guest post from one of our readers who recently visited Venice, Italy. She shares some great tips to save money during the Venice trip. Enjoy the post
Do you want to visit Venice? This is a great choice since there are countless really interesting things to do. Nobody can deny how unique this city is and how much it can change your life after just one visit. However, most of Venice is not that accessible to those that do not have enough money.
In our non-stop competitive world, taking a vacation is a significantly underrated activity. Obviously, working is important. Not only does a job give you the means to pay for the essentials, but it also provides structure to everyday life and creates a sense of meaning and purpose.
Despite the importance of work, it is often far too easy to work too hard and too long without taking a vacation. The importance of heading to the best vacation spots cannot be stressed enough.
It’s no secret that traveling costs money, but the amount that you have to spend can be reduced drastically simply by taking a few steps that will curb your expenses. The best vacation is a staycation in terms of spending as little as possible.
Doing so allows you to have options in both saving money and even making money while traveling. Now, it’s worth pointing out that it’s ill-advised to travel if you don’t have the necessary funds to support you the whole way through.
Timeshares are a bid industry, big name hotels are in this business. although the average timeshare owner is in his 50’s, these days even millennial are buying timeshares. I live in Florida and this state is the leader among US states in terms of timeshare properties. If you’re one of those who is considering buying timeshares, you must read this post first.
Once we were in Orlando, visiting the theme parks when we got this offer from hotel front desk. Attend 2 hours of a presentation and get 2 free tickets to Magic Kingdom theme park and other smaller perks. That was almost $200 value and we had an extra day at hand, which we would have spent shopping anyway.
