If we could push the easy button and just take off to complete any bucket list item whenever we felt like it, everyone would have their dream lists completed and I would just shut down this here blog right now! Sometimes bucket list items don’t get checked off because midway through we decide that something

I love bucket lists! Can’t you tell? I truly think everyone should have one because life gets too busy and can pass you by. The biggest drawback that deters people from creating a bucket list is the fact that they may need to travel or spend a lot of money to cross off their items.

Most people have a goal to travel more and explore the world around them. Travel can be addicting, but also costly which is why many people put it off until ‘later’ in life.
If you want to travel and explore new places, one of the best things you can do is create a bucket list including the places you want to travel to and the experiences you want to have.
Once you narrow your goals down, you’ll be able to plan for the future and start saving up so finances won’t be an obstacle.
Summer can be one of the most expensive times of year for most people. In the dead of winter, it’s easier to settle down, lower all your bills (with the exception of heating) and watch Netflix and drink hot chocolate for entertainment.
During the summer months, however, that’s just not the case. Between summer BBQs and events, children’s activities, and vacations, it can become very easy to overspend and blow your budget.
Oh, and let’s not forget about your awesome summer bucket list. Perhaps in May, you put together an impressive list of all the things you were going to experience for the summer. Even if you didn’t actually write ideas down, I’m sure you thought about where you wanted to go and the things you wanted to do this summer. Then, time flew by and you decided to get a tighter grip on your finances.
Feel like you don’t spend enough time with your partner? It’s so easy to skip out on much-needed time together due to busy schedules and the daily grind. If you’re having a hard time planning dates or just want to spice up your adventures together, consider creating a couple’s bucket list of fun activities you

During the work day, lunch breaks are often highly anticipated as they provide some much-needed downtime where you can briefly relax, chat with co-workers and enjoy some good food.
Dining out for lunch or ordering takeout each day at work can add up quickly though. This is why brown bagging your lunch each day at work can save you thousands. That’s not a myth or fabrication; it’s a pure fact.
On a budget? No problem. Spring is one of the best budget-friendly times of the year. There aren’t too many major holidays and the weather is warming up all over the country so people are often getting outside and hosting or attending events with friends and family.
Though rental car services are everywhere, finding a good deal on a car rental is a bit different from tracking down the best hotel prices or airfare rates. Renting a car while you travel can be expensive, costing you hundreds during the duration of the trip.
It’s important to cut car rental costs when necessary and still maintain a quality and dependable vehicle.
Don’t miss out in finding some of the best prices on car rentals.
Have you ever heard of FIRE? No, I’m not talking about house fire or wildfire thankfully. FIRE is an acronym that stands for Financial Independence/ Retire Early.
While all of us may not be aiming for early retirement, most of us probably have an end goal of financial independence. Whether you love or hate your job, there may come a day when you no longer have the ability or desire to work.
At that point, you should hope to be financially independent. Being financially independent means you have enough to support yourself with or without having a job which makes working optional. It’s a nice place to be and I find it fascinating to learn about other people’s journey to FIRE and how they did it.
We live in a society that thrives on productivity and being efficient. There’s always so much to do and time stops for no one. So naturally, people are interested in doing what they can to free up time which is one of the most limited resources we have. I’m definitely more productive when I have
