Monthly Financial Update: January 2019

Again, I think this is one of those months where I am way too hard on myself. After missing out on my 2018 savings goal by a few percentage points, I went into 2019 with a renewed focus to hit that full fifty percent savings rate this year. Of course, January was also the month…

Friday’s Frugal Five (Hawaii Edition)

We just got back from a week in Hawaii on Wednesday morning and returned to temperatures fifty to sixty degrees colder along with a whole bunch of ice and snow. Looking at the forecast before we headed back sure made it tempting to just not come home for a bit, but it appears that the…

How To Fly To Hawaii For Free (Plus $11.20 in taxes and fees)

We went to Hawaii for the very first time last November, and I have to admit, it wasn't somewhere that was ever on my bucket list, but once we went, I was hooked. The opportunities for outdoors adventure are endless, and once you figure out how to cover the plane tickets and lodging, a trip…

Friday’s Frugal Five (Vacation Edition)

As we end our week in Hawai‘i, I’d say we did reasonably well on the cost end of things. We did end up spending slightly more than the $400/person I had originally predicted, but we were nowhere near the $793/day for just food and lodging it “should” cost for a couple, according to AAA in 2008. Insane. 1. We…

8 Years Of Marriage Adventures

My husband and I celebrated eight years of marriage this week (yes we were total babies at our wedding). We generally don’t give each other gifts and instead would rather spend time and money on experiences. This year is no exception. We spent our anniversary: Eating French toast with local bananas, coconut syrup, and star…

Where To Rent A Car Affordably In Kona, Hawaii

While booking our plane tickets for our upcoming trip to Hawaii was really pretty straightforward since we only have one airline rewards credit card, renting a car affordably was anything but simple. Since I have a goal to spend only $400 per person for a week in Hawaii, I’ve had to be really diligent to make sure…

A Week In Hawaii For $400 A Person

A vacation to Hawaii was never on my radar for a lot of reasons, and a big one was cost. Everything you read and hear about the place is that it is very, very expensive to visit. When we finally decided to take a trip to the Island of Hawaii (the Big Island), I knew…
