    Over the last 20 years, I have spent most of that time living abroad. Americans who have NEVER left the United States have no idea what the rest of the world is like. The USA doesn't even rank in the top 10 places to live, The USA doesn't rank in the top 10 safest countries. The USA doesn't rank in the top 10 healthiest countries. MOST citizens around the globe would choose to live anywhere BUT the USA. This world has a lot of nice places to live in. Life goes quickly. Enjoy while you can.

      Thanks to the expertise of my broker in trading stocks, my investment portfolio has flourished, reaching an impressive value of over $1m. With this financial security, my family and I have been able to embark on exciting journeys to explore various parts of the world, immersing ourselves in the rich diversity of cultures and experiences. This newfound stability has truly transformed our lives, offering us the freedom to pursue our passions and create cherished memories together.

    Paying car insurance for your second car is not a waste in my opinion. It is such a smart financial choice to keep it for your girls. You know the car and you know it’s reliable and in the long run it is going to save your girls money and the hassle of buying a car. It will give you peace of mind knowing they have a reliable car to go to work in. Your family makes a great team! Great job Momma😊

    I don’t remember the details, but when we traveled full time in our RV we took advantage of the National Parks Pass and the corp of Engineers parks. Be sure to check them out if you haven’t.

    This was very helpful, we are planning a long trip this year to see family and the last time we did it we spent an arm and a leg. I have trying to figure out a more cost effective way to travel far to see our loved ones. You rock! thank you for being so transparent. Let’s see what I can come up with for our family.

    Great video! We did the traveling thing a few years back, a few things you might want to consider:
    Passport America for discounts on rv sites
    Pilot Rv card, thru good sam for great gas discounts
    AAA for emergency towing and tire repair
    Harvest Host's for free stays
    Best wishes on your adventure!!!

    Enjoy your trip. Am looking fwd to seeing how you are travelling, RV or are you using accomodation. Also how you prep meals while travelling. We usually rent air bnbs when on travels including Road trips but they arent as long as yours. Usually 2 weeks max If by Road. We fly for overseas trips.

    Are you guys traveling in the RV or just the Tundra? Also, maybe investing in xm radio would be a great option. It has soo many stations and it really kicks in when you don't have reception in a lot of areas since its satellite. Love your videos!

      The property we bought in VA is taxed yearly and all the 2024 taxes are paid for at closing. So next property taxes will be due 2025 … and they are super cheap 🙌

    We spend $1,000-$2,000 per week on road trips if we aren't staying with family -on top of paying our regular bills, which are like $7,000 per month, in the background, regardless. So, we don't go on vacation much, & try to make it shorter versus longer when we can.
