Airline transfer. Always

Transfer for airline miles when they have a promo and fly business class roundtrip for 2 to Europe.

That’s enough for two round trip business class flights from the us to Europe, if transferred optimally. Or several economy flights

Depends on what you want-fun flights or 1-2 weeks modest lodging somewhere or a few nights at a very luxurious resort

What’s the most valuable type of travel to you?

First class flights 🤘🏼

I grew up poor and was obsessed w financial security.

I wasn’t there when my mom was sick and died because I was working and my employer didn’t allow me to be in a mental headspace to be a good person for my family. I can never change that but I can be better going forward.
