I was just talking to a friend of mine about the importance to not go into DEBT for travels because actually many people fall into that trap. Your advice were great, I will say for me as a single lady, fully employed, I put away 10 to 12% percent of my monthly paycheck (an amount that is reasonable for me) into a high yield savings account, I decide to add money on it more certain months. By doing this, when I want to book a flight or hotel, I usually have at least 90% percent of the costs covered and I spend the rest on my travel credit card. I have seen twelve countries so far and I never stress on my return home. It's all about consistency and discipline.
For me I pay for stuff in advance . I will pay for hotels rentals and get advance tickets. GROUPON IS MY BESTIE. If I want to book a spa or take my kiddos with me.
This video is gold! I love working numbers and budgeting but you dropped some gems in this one an I for sure will share your video with all my friends and family who travel. Thank you so much, stay blessed
Thank you for sharing this method it will definitely be helpful going forward. This video was very informative as me and my husband love to travel! We now have a 1 year old and would love for her to see the world also🙂!!
I loveee your finance videos. Your channel just all together. Glad you mentioned don’t get stuck on The dates choose the cheapest flight because that a game changer i didn’t think about
This has been very informative. I want to travel more with my daughter all while trying to stay on a budget. As I am also trying to eliminate some credit card debit. Thank you for the information. Definitely took notes.
Nice video! We save 100% for the trip before taking it. Also take advantage of these credit card promotions for free money and pay the card off immediately. The "budget determines the destination" works best for us. Thanks for the video.
When seeking a travel card what advice would you give to individuals who already have a very long history with what they consider “enough” cards? Should they add another card to their history or should they work with their current cards to see what can be done?
Love your finance videos! With your new addition, I’d love to know what financial plans your guys have put into place for his future. College? 529? Etc.
omg you so right I put 3 Trips on my CC and stopped saving after I hit 3K you so right, we wnt to Mexico ,VA,Vegas now we are broke because of how we did it smh
I definitely enjoy all your videos and this one is very informative for me, especially since I'm trying to figure out how to travel with my children on a budget and know how to go about finding deals. So yes, this was a good video. Short and to the point. Thank you.
Can you do an in-depth video on when it makes sense to get the travel credit cards? I feel like the annual fees are too much, plus the amount of points I was collecting on purchases wasn’t adding up quickly enough to do anything so I don’t even use the card anymore 😫
Great video, good tips to know, to help me plan a real vacation in the far off future. Not sure if you have any videos on how to get out of debt and rebuild your credit from the bottom up. Also, is it better to pay off collection debts or not. I have seen so many mixed information online. I'm not sure. Thank you.
Very informative!! I didn’t know about the Google Alert, and didn’t think about the travel credit card either🥴Do you know much about the Costco credit card? I’m wondering if I should have the travel card instead since you have enlightened me. I love watching you😊
Hey I saw you talking about your credit journey before and I know you said to try and find more ways to bring in more income, but after I get my credit report, what is the next step i should do in fixing and rebuilding my credit ?
Thanks, great suggestions. Random and crazy question....I'm deathly afraid of cats...don't ask me why and yes, I realize it's totally illogical 😂 Anywho, I want to travel to Greece but have heard that stray cats are everywhere there....restaurants, hotels, markets. Any thoughts based on your travels to Greece?
They are everywhere!! Not like in a pack or whatever but you go one place there is a couple of cats, eating outside a cat will just come up to the table because they are used be being fed…So if it is really a big deal for you…I would skip it.

Very informative!! Could you do a video on a break down of Traditional IRA vs. Roth IRA? I’m 23 and not really sure which one is better.
Can you do an in-depth video on when it makes sense to get the travel credit cards? I feel like the annual fees are too much, plus the amount of points I was collecting on purchases wasn’t adding up quickly enough to do anything so I don’t even use the card anymore 😫
I can definitely put that on the next finance video!

One thing I’d love to hear more about is what financial decisions to make when you went from making $10-15/hr to $75,000 salary job.
