LOVE google flights! In 2015 I was able to book a 1 way flight from Denmark to Ireland for $14, to France for $30, and round trip to England for $50 on east jet and Ryan air. In the US, just earlier this year Google flights got me a $55 round trip from chicago to Miami! When I tell ppl this they never believe me, but I’ve always found good deals through there!! Just make sure your internet is on private incognito mode so it doesn’t track the data/cookies
Hey doortovalue I have a ? for you in 8/10/24 I will be going on a cruise and I need airfare from Phil to Ft.Lauderdale so I went on google flights and they want like a thousand dollars I thought that is crazy. I can also get airfare from the cruise line which one do you think is better and any hacks you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
How far are you from BWI? Southwest goes from BWI to FLL for reasonable $$. You also can travel with 2 checked bags free. Always travel to Port the day before.
@@anhelinabodnar1066 once you look at a trip with an airline and then you go back the price jumps. If I go on another computer I get the same price I originally got. If I use the original computer I end up always with a higher price.
This was my first ever video of Erica’s on youtube. I wrote so many notes! I subscribed. I’m subscribing to Chris’s. My entire existence is about traveling the world slowly and living inside cultures. The new travel hacks & sites mentioned, I’d never heard of before. THANK YOU. Hey I’m an OG GenXer. 52. Woman. US Navy Vet. Retired. I have a passive set income. I have no debt. I don’t own a home. I’m free to roam. I really needed this information to help me on my way and save money. What a great topic! BTW, I haven’t used hot water to wash clothes in over 10 years.
Congratulations! You've done many, many things right! I am already an expat who also tries to roam the world by Slow Travel in 90 day trips. One day I may even find another location to change my permanent residency to .... maybe the secret is to invest money to give you passive income. Corporate bonds, preferred stocks, annuities, etc.
I’ve watched a few episodes of your podcast now and I’m really enjoying it. I like the topics you cover and the guests you bring. I never thought I’d get into “finance RU-vid” but in general these vids are helping me get more comfortable with how I think about money. Thanks Erika 😌
Another great one, Erika! Such a genuine, enthusiastic guest: I could have listened for much, much longer and gleaned even more tips and hacks! Love it!
As an Airbnb superhost, which doesn’t really mean anything nowadays, I simply do not accept any bookings of people trying to ask for discounts nor try to work around the Airbnb platform rules. It basically asks for trouble. It says guests potentially will not care about the house rules either. Also, Airbnb fees are not 30% for the host, so that single point makes the whole story sus.
What I do when I travel is have groceries delivered to where I’m staying at. I’ll just order snacks and drinks and that helps so much with the cost of buying out
I used to live in the US and I enjoyed saving a lot of money but what you guys talked about is wow... I really learned a lot. I am actually doing a similar thing here in my own country, Indonesia and trying to spend the least but not always optimizing. I also look at many factors like time, health, etc. Saving money doesn't always save money for that moment. Many things you have to take into account.
@@loripecoraro7000 You can close cards without much effect on your credit. Just don't close your oldest card. I have closed multiple cards and only took a 10-15 point hit on my credit. These cards were not high-limit cards though.
I liked the tip about buying gift cards at the grocery store to get points. I thought the points would be strictly for groceries not anything that you would by at the grocery store.
I know some of these, like splitting up flights instead of one long haul, to save money. Some of these are not relevant to Europe, but definitely learning some new things here. Very exciting🤩 Thank you! Still watching so Im sure I get a lot of more tips in the rest of the video.
You either save time but pay more or you save money but no time savings. No way around it. I’m in the state to save my precious time, hassle and energy.
Thank you Erika and Chris. So much information packed into this video. My son takes a lot of Delta flights. I will let him know the 20 minute rule on luggage, and give him your site info.
i had that happen to me with wow air. i was flying to sweden through iceland and wow decided they were no longer going to fly to iceland anymore so there was no way to change the dates. i spent 4 hours on the phone and managed to get a full refund and then bought my tickets through united out of a different state and it ended up saving me money and i got a suitcase free. All i had to do was drive to my moms house and fly with her so it ended up being really perfect but at first wow told me they weren't even going to refund anyone on the plane because they were going out of business but i screamed and hollarded and asked for every manager i could and thankfully it paid off
I fly delta a lot as I have delta Amex… we had baggage delays a few times but didn’t know about 2500 points for every 20 months delay. What’s confusing is if one meanders or walks slowly to the carousel (taking 20 mins), and your luggage is there, how do you convince delta that luggage came 20 mins late?
I've flown Frontier and it was very good. It was a short domestic trip and I had my own food with me. Got me where I needed for not too much $. Wouldn't cross an ocean or anything though. That's different.
I'm only a couple minutes in. This young person has his own view of what he thinks is quality living. I've got money, yet I love being creative in making my own garden, tools, natural vegetable garden structures and other natural innovative creations rather than buying them for a high price on the market when I can make them. Not everything but a lot of things. This man won't be prepared if the grid goes down, I will - for months.
