We visited the Fairbanks Museum when visiting Santa’s Village in Jefferson, NH. It was AWESOME! Hidden gem in VT.

Thank you for sharing! When you say “pay your CC bill in full each month” are you referring to the statement balance or total as of the 30th (or 31st)? Our cc closing date is the 25th and it always throws me off because we inevitably have more charges between that date and the last day of the month so it feels like I’m never starting the first day of the month at 0.

I looked back – October 2022. Look at that month’s expense report for details–and pics! 🙂

In reply to Natalie.

I agree with Natalie & subsequent posters.

I actually counted 13 different food/beverage expenses: groceries, restaurant dates, family restaurant dates, bulk oats, bulk flour/salad, CO2 for Sodastream seltzer, Liz dinner out with ladies, beer, ski snacks, maple syrup, coffee shop with kids, yeast for baking & olive oil bottle.

Perhaps categorizing all food/beverage related spending ($1,746.68) together with breakdowns underneath of each sub-category would provide a beneficial way of considering the overall category, as well as individual items for further analysis.

First time poster & love the website!

We just completed a 3 day family trip with a 4 year old and we are all wiped out! Next year we’ll try the day trips with a rest day in between approach, I think that will work better for us, too. We’ve done that for similar school breaks, but thought we’d be ready for a longer trip. Luckily we were at a hotel with a pool, so we had a place to hang out for down time.

Hi Liz! I loved your book and enjoy your blog for inspiration! I was curious if you have thought about the fact that your winning with credit cards, i.e. cash back is an easy give for the bank because they are making so much money off people who are the victims of credit cards. Does this give you pause? Thanks for considering.
