Please note, I’ll never recommend my friends and family to go for debt consolidation. I’d rather advice them to go to a credit counselor instead.

Traveling is great, and this statement doesn’t really need an explanation. Another thing everyone is sure to know is that traveling is expensive. Even if you choose the cheapest accommodation in the area, cook your own food and avoid any kind of entertainment you have to pay for, you are still very likely to spend more when traveling than when staying at home.

Now, the question is would you rather spend more to stay in a beautiful and ridiculously expensive 5 star hotel to have that super comfortable and luxurious all inclusive travel experience or opt for low-cost accommodation and spend the money you saved somewhere else? Both options obviously have their pros and cons, and we are going to look into them right now.
