So let’s talk a little more about Coronavirus and travel. Though first, I am like super curious where everyone is falling on the fear scale here? I can’t decide if I’m underreacting or the stage manager who fights the panic in me is just so strong, but I feel vaguely fatalistic that it may likely…
I’m usually awesome at bargain travel. I mean, I managed to travel to Hawaii for less than $2,000 with only 3 months notice. I feel I was not so successful this past weekend when I travelled to Las Vegas for a bachelorette party. The worst part of the weekend’s costs was my flight. It was…
So you’re heading out on a tour? Here are some apps I can’t live without on the road: Google Maps I love me some Waze too, but Google Maps walking function is unbeatable when you’re constantly trying to find your way around new cities. Venmo I probably use this at least a dozen times a…
I’m a total travel whore. When I worked for cruise ships, long after the glamour of the life had faded, I stuck with the company because each new contract had places I hadn’t seen. I put up with a lot of unpleasantness to continue to be shipped off to exotic new places. After five years…
When you think of London, England, you don’t exactly think ‘Frugal Living opportunity’ because it’s long been associated with high costs and a ‘luxury holiday’ feels to it. However, about a month ago Britain decided to hold a vote to leave the EU, and since then the value of the Pound Sterling has taken a…
If you are going on a backpacking vacation to Dubai, you are the one who would need to not only plan the entire trip but also calculate your budget. However, while planning, you may realize that you are not getting a lot of things in your hotel booking package when you travel without the help…
In my continued quest to find ways to cut down the cost of our upcoming Hawaii trip, I was super excited to find that there’s a GoOahu card for the island we’ll be spending 90% of our time on! Seriously – I was so excited. And the rest of this post might sound like a…
I feel like I keep harping on spending money lately, but I think it’s just because it’s where I’m at in life. When I was paying down debt, I wrote post after post about doing just that. When I was finally debt free, I went on a budgeting spree to figure out how to organize…
I really love my change jar and I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately. A lot of the little things in life that I enjoy are attached to that jar – but with no strings. Change jar money has always been “extra” money to me. It exists outside of my budget, because there’s no…
For as long as I can remember, my extended family has gone on camping trips. My dad is the youngest of nine, so there were always plenty of cousins to hang out with and piles of mischief to get up to. There was the memorable year when I ran full speed into a partially buried…
Holy cow. I’m a reader story on Get Rich Slowly today. And my post even connects with the theme of the month here. Check it out. Like lots of other millennials, I spent most of my 20s in school, working underpaid jobs I’m overqualified for, giving up on those jobs, going back to school and,…
