Debt freedom is independence
June 20 to July 4 was another busy period of time. At Money Bacon I want you to make your money sizzle. During paycheck 36 we really made our money sizzle by traveling. More of the same is on-tap right now.
Mrs MBG returned from Phoenix on June 22, 2016. The next Wednesday we went to Coney Island Bar to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary. The Tri-tip was great and the peanut butter cup pie was even better.
Traveling because we are DINKs
On July 1, 2016 my wife and I headed out on another vacation. While most couples travel together, we don't (not always true). At least we are not together on this trip. She has a week and I only have a few days. So we both drive to the airport together but depart for different destinations. I go to LAX and she heads to AUS.
My budget was $100 for travel. I spent it in two days and came right home. My wife is staying with a friend and her expenses are really low. She did splurge on some great BBQ at Salt Lick BBQ in Driftwood, TX and a few other BBQ joints.
The point of traveling because we are DINKs is that its more about building relationships than about the money. It helps to have money but the relationships I am building are far more valuable.
While I was in LA I met a friend I made on Facebook and he gave me a private tour of the LA Arboretum. Their gardens are amazing! The following day I met another new friend and we drove toward San Diego. Picked up exhibitor passes for the San Diego County Fair and we went to the Butterfly Open-fly House at Butterfly Farms in Vista, CA.
