My 40th birthday is mid July. Where should I go for a Friday-Sunday long weekend? Direct flight or <5 hour drive.

I vote that you make that a Wednesday - Sunday trip.

Is this a couple getaway? Friends trip? Family trip?

Puerto Rico, Caribbean, Cozumel

Asheville would be great - I love it there. For your milestone birthday if you want to whoop it up… maybe not so much but some people love the mountains. There are a lot of great rentals up in north GA mtns.

Another option for a direct flight that is about 2.5 hours and glorious that time of year - Ogunquit, Maine. Fly to Boston or Portland and rent a car. Totally zen and not blazing hot like ATL. Super quaint, solid food scene, full of French Canadians and very relaxed.

You want sun or snow?

Chicago or Boston and see if you can time it with a baseball game if you like that.

If you don't mind the heat: PR

If you do mind the heat: Jackson Hole

Nashville or Gatlinburg. Nashville for the food and music; Gatlinburg for the tourist trap shenanigans.

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
