Below are some easy tips that can help you finance your dream (whatever that may be), travel the world, or relocate to your ideal place from fellow travelers Bert & Patty:
“Both of us pay off our credit cards monthly so we don’t pay interest charges which saves us a lot of money monthly. Paul sold his car back in 2005 – no car payment/fuel/insurance/maintenance costs. Christine’s car was paid off, was very reliable and got great mileage. We stopped eating in restaurants, going to movies, going to live shows and drinking expensive coffee drinks. We made large dinners at home and used the leftovers to pack lunches for work everyday. We also drank water at dinner instead of beer/wine/soda. (that one was easy, every time we wanted a beer we would say ‘we could buy one beer now or four beers in Thailand!’)”.
You don’t need to be a financial guru or have a trust fund but it does take courage to say No to friends and peers and avoid spending money on bars and restaurants week after week.
I would also add: Say no to a few social commitments and commercial holidays and you’ll be amazed at how much money you can save.
