My Best Budget Travel Tip: Stay Close, Travel Well

“I don’t travel to spend as little as possible. I travel to experience as much as possible. I save before I go, choose where my money matters, and once I’m there, I simply enjoy the journey.” -JhieBeyondBorders

One of the best travel tips I can give, especially if you want to make the most of your money, is surprisingly simple:

Stay as close as possible to the places you actually want to visit.

It may sound counterintuitive. After all, when we talk about budget travel, we usually think about finding the cheapest hotel, the cheapest transportation, and the cheapest meals.

But after travelling quite a lot, I’ve realized that cheap doesn’t always mean economical.

Sometimes, a hotel that is a little more expensive but is within walking distance of the places I want to explore can actually save me money. I spend less on transportation, less time stuck in traffic, and more time enjoying the destination.

And for me, there is another reason I prefer staying close.

I love being close to the communities.

I don’t always want to stay in the most luxurious tourist area or inside a resort where everything feels separated from the place I came to see. I enjoy walking through neighbourhoods, discovering little restaurants, watching the locals go about their day, finding small cafés, visiting local markets, and simply observing everyday life.

That, for me, is part of travelling.

I don’t really travel on a strict budget

Here’s the funny part.

I often talk about travelling wisely, but I wouldn’t necessarily describe myself as a budget traveller.

I am willing to spend more on certain things if they make my trip more comfortable or enjoyable.

My philosophy is simple:

I save before I travel so I don’t have to worry while I’m travelling.

If I know I have a trip coming up, I prepare for it. I save money, plan where I want to go, book what needs to be booked, and make sure I have enough room in my budget to actually enjoy myself.

Because what is the point of travelling somewhere beautiful if I spend the entire trip thinking, “Should I really buy this?” or “Can I afford to eat here?”

I want to enjoy the moment.

I want to sit down for that coffee.

I want to try the local food.

I want to take the train instead of rushing.

I want to wander around without constantly checking my wallet.

Save first. Enjoy later.

For me, travelling wisely is not about depriving myself.

It’s about knowing where my money is worth spending.

I may choose a reasonably priced hotel, but I’ll choose one in a great location.

I may skip an expensive tourist attraction if it doesn’t interest me, but happily spend money on a local experience that I’ll remember for years.

I may walk instead of taking a taxi when the distance is reasonable, not because I have to, but because walking lets me see more of the place.

And when I travel, I try to spend on experiences rather than things I can easily buy back home.

So yes, I save before the trip.

I enjoy the trip.

And when I get home…

I’ll worry about the bills later.

Because for me, travel is not about proving how little I can spend.

It’s about making sure that the money I do spend gives me something valuable in return: time, experiences, memories, and the freedom to enjoy where I am.

That’s my version of budget travel.

Travel close. Spend wisely. Experience more. And most importantly, enjoy the moment. 🌏✈️❤️

Will Trump Accounts Deliver for American Children?

#1ban #trump #accounts #children #savings #geopolitics

Bank #scam = Loaning your #savings to other people. This dilutes all #money in circulation.

e.g. if anyone pays a $10 fee for a $100 #loan, it's not worth $100 any more! 🔥 🏦 🧐

Banks #cheat us by loaning money over & over (+ our #energy goes to them to RE-loan).

📉 #Banks loan money and gain power.

They create loans to customers when they don't have the total money in reality (hoping everyone won't take out money ALL at the same time).

They gamble y(our) money by giving out new loans to XYZ!

Lobbyists for a coalition of six groups succeeded in getting changes into a 2021 Portman-Cardin bill governing IRS #oversight of #private #retirement #plans.

Fact sheets provided to POLITICO
— which a Hill staffer said the lobbyists distributed to advocate for their proposal
— sold the changes as fixes that would help elderly Americans, such as retired government and factory workers,
who had inadvertently put too much in their retirement accounts and could face penalties from the IRS.

But the lobbyists were also targeting benefits for a different demographic.

The head of the coalition, according to his biography, specializes in tax planning for🌟 “ultra-high-net-worth clients.” 🌟

The coalition also included an advocacy group that has previously been tied to the #Koch #network
— and which engaged in a massive lobbying campaign against efforts to restructure Puerto Rico’s debt that was owned by hedge fund managers in 2015.

Tax lawyers who reviewed the statutory changes said they would in fact
👉 make it far more difficult for the IRS to penalize supersized retirement accounts where owners avoided millions of dollars in taxes. 👈

“The lobby power of these groups is tremendous,” said Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas), a member of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee.

“There has been little lobby effort for [low-income taxpayers] and plenty of lobbying from those people in the financial services industry that benefit from those retirement plans

Five months before Congress faced a near-catastrophic 2022 standoff over the debt ceiling,
with Republicans demanding restrictions to food and Medicaid programs to rein in spending,
a bill that raised the cost of private retirement savings accounts to $282 billion per year was quietly signed into law.

In this era of deeply divided politics, the 2022 bill known as "#Secure 2.0" was hailed as a bipartisan success — a victory for average Americans.
It had sailed through the House by a whopping 414-5 vote.
It followed four other major bills passed between 1996 and 2019 that 🔸dramatically expanded taxpayer savings 🔸– all equally lauded as bipartisan victories.

But that rare issue that brought a divided Washington together also 💥increased wealth disparities and the federal deficit. 💥

And the victory was most strongly applauded by the burgeoning #financial #services #industry, for whom #tax-#advantaged #retirement #savings has transformed a $7 trillion retirement market in 1995 to a $38.4 trillion behemoth in 2023.

👉Tax-advantaged savings has become a staple of the American retirement system, with 60 million savers squirreling away $6.6 trillion in their 401(k)s, alone.

But a yearlong POLITICO investigation found that Secure 2.0 and its predecessor bills have expanded the system well beyond its goal of helping the middle class.

Today, ⭐️wealthy taxpayers can protect up to $452,500 per year ⭐️in tax-advantaged accounts in a single year, 👉saving up to $203,600 on their #taxes.

And they can keep their money in tax-advantaged accounts far longer.

More striking is how these victories were achieved:
A quarter-century partnership between two senators
— Democrat Ben #Cardin of Maryland and Republican Rob #Portman of Ohio
— joined more recently by the former House Ways and Means Committee Chair Richard #Neal (D-Mass.).

Backed by one of the most highly skilled and lavishly funded industry #lobbying teams, and greased by campaign contributions, Portman, Cardin and Neal turned what could have been a deeply controversial giveback to higher-income taxpayers into a staple of the American Dream.

They appealed to core beliefs in both parties
— free enterprise for Republicans, economic security for Democrats
– to enact what is arguably the most costly series of non-Defense bills in recent decades.

Indeed, that success now vexes many retirement experts, alarmed by how easily Congress acquiesces to tax breaks for retirement savings that 🔹disproportionately help the wealthy 🔹while treating the benefits relied upon by most retirees
— Social Security and Medicare
— as "budget-busters ripe for reform".

🔥“The 401(k) industry owns Congress,” 🔥said Daniel Hemel, a professor and tax law scholar based at NYU School of Law.
“Either lawmakers were trying to pull a fast one on the American people or lobbyists were trying to pull a fast one on Congress.
I don’t know which story is better. I don’t know which one I should want to believe.”

That's a limited view of savings. #Savings take many forms.

Monetary savings are just a highly "liquid" (ie. easy-to-trade, frictionless) from of savings compared to others.

The more a currency is debased by money printing, the more other things that are not money, take on value also.

That's why we warned that attacking savings, would increase consumerism and #assetInflation (#housePrices).

Attacking savings = increased consumerism.
