Weekly Round Up: I Can Explain

 

A weekly round up: eats, workouts, watches, and reads.  This week I tried out a few things in the kitchen and saw an incredible TV show.

Weekly Round Up: Stuff I've Loved Recently

A weekly round up: it's normally eats, workouts, watches, and reads, but this week we're using a looser format so that I can tell you about a bunch of odds and ends.  We'll kick it off from a picture from one of my hikes this weekend, and then get into the goods.

Let's Go Places: Frankfort, Kentucky

Greeting Friends!  This weekend I put another check mark in my "spend at least one night in every state in the next 10 years" and "tour all of the State Capitols" goals.  I planned to do a lot of hiking but ended up touring breweries instead.  This is that story.

A Travel Hacking/Bank Bonus Update

In January I wrote a post called My Weird Hobby: A Credit Card/Bank Bonus Earnings Report where I dished the dirt on my baby steps into the world of travel hacking.

The big question that I had before I started looking into travel hacking was: can I do better than a cash back credit card, and if so, HOW?????  

I planned to write an update next year, but since I just scored a big coup, I thought I would drop the deets in real time.  The biggest thing to know about me is that I am someone who is learning about travel hacking by doing travel hacking.  I am learning as I go, so what I am doing may or may not be "the best way".  The second biggest thing to know about me is that I am someone who is susceptible to decision fatigue.  I don't mind taking a bit of time to look up flights and crunch numbers, but I do mind taking a lot of time to do it.  I would rather make a "good enough" decision now than an optimal decision later.  This is the story about how I achieved those goals for a pricey trip that I have coming up.

Weekly Round Up: Valentine's Report

A weekly round up: eats, workouts, watches, and reads.  My week started in balmy Florida and ended back home in the frozen Tundra.  Luckily there was good food, something new on the fitness front, and puppy snuggles to get through it.

BOBW: Interesting Money Questions

I listen to approximately one billion podcasts, and for the most part it is a case of "in one ear and out the other".

However,  I recently listened to an episode of The Best of Both Worlds podcast called Interesting Money Questions, which I am still thinking about.  Given that the episode went into an ear and did not go out the other, and that I met one of the show's hosts last week, I decided to play pretend and be a guest on the show.  Here are the questions that they asked and my answers.
