This is so timely for me! My husband and I are kind of worried about our financial responsibilities next year as his family invited us to come over for a very long vacation (1 month!) It’s kind of hard to sell second hand stuff here in our area so I’m having a bit of a problem with that one, unfortunately. There’s a ton of stuff I want to get rid of and hope to make money from before deciding to donate it. Now, we’re working on securing money to pay for the necessities (like bills) by ramping up our side income, as you mentioned, for the duration of our absence. That’s really quite helpful.

This is a great post. I like how you highlighted your concerns about your month-long travel and what you did you overcome them. That’s a great list of steps with plenty of detail. I always say if you want it bad enough you will make it happen.

Good work – the power of planning ahead, huh?

Sounds like an awesome trip. We have our honeymoon in June next year for 3 weeks in a very similar position, so we better get working hard over the next few months!! 🙂

I think if you want to travel, you have to make it a priority. As in, skipping other regular splurges (like dining out, fancy cars, etc) in order to afford to travel. It isn’t cheap, but I am over it when people say they don’t have funds to travel yet are driving way fancier cars than us.. We don’t spend on other things so we can afford to take the trips we want.

Congrats to you both for pulling this off! I completely agree, if it’s really important to you, you’ll find a way to make it happen. Extra money can be earned and I’m all about selling junk/clutter when you can. I’m going on a trip soon myself and will be without an income during that time. I’ve been planning ahead for several months and I know it’ll be worth it!

It sounds like you had an awesome month long honeymoon! Preparation is definitely key when you’re planning on going without an income for a while.

Love this! That’s awesome that you were able to do this. We are thinking about selling some of our stuff to fund more future travels. It’s easy that way and we need to declutter anyways.

Isn’t it crazy the things you can do (without huge amounts of stress) when you put in the effort to plan ahead?!? I’d say a month long vacay is worth skipping a few date nights!
