People often ask us: “how can you afford to keep travelling all over the world?” This is an understandable & legitimate question. The truth is our traveling lifestyle costs us about the same as when we were living in San Diego, and indeed, for many months depending where we are, much less.
When we left San Diego in January 2017 we sold almost all we had accumulated and put the remainders in a storage facility that would ship any and all bar-coded boxes to us when requested. Those sales added to our nest egg which also contained proceeds from Shane’s sale of his business and an inheritance. Continuing income comes from Shane Social Security, investments and a few side hustles we’ll describe below. Click on each one for further details.
Experiences vs. Possessions
Adopting the philosophy of enjoying Experiences way beyond Possessions enabled us to stretch our resources & fulfill our travel goals.
Selling Domain Names
Buying & selling domain names can be done anywhere in the world.
Stock Market Investing
Shedding the guidance of a financial planning firm and managing our own money was a big step but saved us money in the long run.
Bask Bank
Tired of earning a measly 1% or less on savings accounts we found a way to earn much more valuable & highly rewarded airline points.
Worthy Bonds
Tired of earning a measly 1% or less on savings accounts we found a way to earn a whopping 5% while also helping other entrepreneurs.
Loyalty & Reward Program
Accumulating reward points from certain credit cards has greatly decreased our airline travel expenses.
Timeshares
Purchasing several Timeshares years ago have enabled us to stay in some very beautiful resorts and in the long run saved us money.
