How we saved enough money to change our lives (and how you can, too!)

Are you ready to hit the open road, buy a house, take a big trip, go back to school, or just stop working so damn much?  Boy, have I got a deal for you.

We started saving for our round-the-world trip in 2008 and have currently saved over $80,000, which will keep us on the road for at least 2 years.  Since we aren’t leaving until October 1, we have plenty of time to save enough additional money to stay gone another year, giving us a total of 3 years of backpacking around the world, stopping wherever we want for as long as we want.

If you had asked me 5 years ago what I’d be doing on my 40th birthday I would have said “probably working.”  Now I can tell you I’ll be backpacking in South America.  And it all happened because we finally got our finances under control and started making our money work for us.

Do you want some of that?

I’ve put together a 55-page ebook that contains 3 parts:

  • How we did it: What we were doing before, why we chose to make a change, and how that change helped us recognize that we could take that trip we wanted long before retirement.
  • How you can do it:  Step-by-step, from finding out how much your dream costs and how to budget for it to having fun for free (or almost free).  I’ve also included the budget worksheet we use.
  • How other people did it:  We have 2 additional stories of people who have made significant changes in their lives to pay off debt and live the way they want.  If a teacher with a family of four can do it on one salary, so can you.

So what will this juicy bit of info cost you?

Right now?  Not a darn thing.  Zip, zero, nada.  All you have to do is go here to claim it.  It is our gift to you because we want you to have what we’re having.

What are you waiting for?  Go get it now!

    Hi Betsy, Good for you! Sounds awesome. I personally do not want to backpack anywhere, ever, but it is great that you two had the same dream and the will to make it a reality.
    Best wishes!
