We all make choices which will impact the speed at which we emerge from debt.
One choice we consciously made was to continue traveling even though we were facing a mountain of debt. This decision likely impacted the time it took us – over 7 years – to dump debt.
However, looking back, I don’t regret our approach. We did make a few key changes:
- All travel was paid for in cash.
- We cut costs by visiting friends or family (and staying with them), splitting a condo with a group, or cooking most meals.
Often our travel was to see friends or family, so hotel and car rental expenses were minimal.
Dumping debt doesn’t have to be a miserable experience.
That’s why I invited Sarah Fazendin, a Colorado native and travel blogger with years of experience in the travel industry, to offer helpful tips to keep travel affordable. Sarah writes for A Week at the Beach and A Family Travel Blog.
