Live Longer…Travel!


Change Your Routine...

You can save money to travel.


Many people in different parts of the world live on much smaller budgets than Americans do, and are happier and more content.

That $4-a-day coffee ends up to be an almost $1,000-a-year expense!

The $18 per person movie ticket, dinner, popcorn and soda for two, twice a month adds up to $2,000 yearly!

Eating lunch out every day and dinner out three nights a week can easily add up to $2,400 and up per person every year!

The $350 auto loan per month including gas and insurance compared to a more budget-friendly $250 /month loan adds another $1,200 to $1,500 a year to your savings!

We are not saying to cut down all of the pleasures in life.  Just some.

Take an inventory of your  monthly expenses and you will almost always find expenses you can reduce.  This will go towards your emergency fund, savings and travel.

You can apply for travel reward cards and accumulate points and extended time to pay for your travel; some with 0% interest for 12 to 18 months and more.  

If you are building your credit with no savings, you may need a bit more time to save for your savings, emergency fund and annual trip.  

Whatever you do keep track of your spending.  Remember credit cards can be great when used wisely.

Also remember you can travel for less than you may think!

In Southeast Asia you can find nice accommodation in the $40-to-$60 per night range when you plan your travel in advance.  With enough planning plane tickets can be bought at a very reasonable cost. Try $650 round trip to the Philippines and $470 roundtrip to Cambodia!

And when you travel your outlook towards life and people begins to change...

Save the world. Go on an adventure!
