[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Despite the high COL and responsibilities ( family, kids) share your tips and tricks on how to still have a fun adventurous lifestyle, traveling and going out etc Just overall how you are making your income work for you!

I'll start. For my birthday or a special occasion or a romantic getaway, I celebrate by [b]staying at an ultra luxurious hotel[/b].  I invite my friends. I usually refer to the list of AAA 4 and 5 diamond hotels and then look up the hotels that offer package deals. I reserve in advance for one or two nights. I actually get more for my money than just a standard reservation.

Share yours

That's one of the dumbest things to blow money on.  Here is a tip for you: don't crave luxury, it has nothing to do with being adventurous or having a fun life.   You can't take that marble lobby with you and it doesn't matter the day after. Unless you're one of those people who derive happiness from one-upping your friends on Instagram.

My tricks: Stay at clean, safe mid-range hotels in exciting destinations and spend money on experiences - learn sailing or scuba or go on a safari. [/quote]

Agree with the above poster.

For starters, we (as a family of 6 living in the Va 'burbs - money saved right there) don't spend that type of money of birthdays or even take romantic getaways. And 4/5 star hotels? Um, I guess I dare not suggest Holiday Inn Express where you get free buffet breakfast in the morning. [/quote]
