5 Tips ⬇️ …it really adds up 👏

☝️Disclosure: We’ve also worked hard to make squirremusttravel a fun side business, and it’s helped support our travel passion. That said, prior to squirrelmustravel, we Airbnb’d our 2nd bedroom to pay for 3 months in Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia & Malaysia 🤩—experiences are possible when prioritized, right? 

5 WAYS we PRIORITIZE TRAVEL: 

MEAL PLANNING + COOKING 
▫️Plan meals ahead for the week to remove waste. 
▫️Pack lunches & snacks (this has been easy for us since we primarily work from home). 
▫️Decrease meat - we’re vegetarian and it’s saved a ton— by incorporating more veggies, beans, and legumes, it’s possible to considerably cut your grocery bill. —
▫️💰✔️✔️✔️ Cook at home instead of dinning out—In 2023 we averaged $60/month eating out… we’re not giving up taco shop date night anytime soon ✌️. 

TRANSPORTATION
▫️Use public transportation if possible. In San Diego ours is minimal, so we decided to sell a vehicle and carpool, walk, or bike. 
💰 Removing a vehicle saved a ton on insurance, gas, and payments! 

ENTERTAINMENT 
▫️Enjoy game & movie nights at home.

INVEST in QUALITY
▫️We’ve found it’s cheaper to buy something once, and to only buy things we’ll really use. Our splurge is typically quality outdoor gear, and we’re ok with that because it gets us outside 👍. 

CUT UNNECESSARY EXPENSES
▫️Cancel unused subscriptions. 
▫️Brew coffee (and tea 🙋🏻‍♀️) at home! This one adds up! Imagine—$70 month is $960 a year— EXACTLY what we just spent on 2 flights to Europe! 

YES, it all sounds like common sense but the trick is putting changes into action 👏. 

What tips would you include? 

Have you noticed that when you save, the small bits really add up? 🤔
