EQ vs IQ
EQ is more important than IQ. I don’t care how smart you are, if you are a weird selfish prick, you won’t get as far as someone who is less smart, but gets along with everybody.
In a previous post, I discussed how I was able to stay at a $2,000/night hotel for a week for free. The travel hack didn’t involve writing a review about the hotel or using a gagillion credit card points. No I didn’t provide personal finance advice to Ryan Seacrest and Lukas Haas either. This travel hack has to do with building good relationships. Let me share some background.
Synopsis: When we’re not talking about ways to make more money to help other people and live better lives, we’re talking about ways to save money on fantastic experiences. This post is part 1/2 of a travel hack rarely discussed. It sets up the stage and provides some insights into more extravagant spending. We’ll also explore whether more luxurious living is really worth the price. Hope you enjoy and stick around for part 2!
One of the weirdest money phenomenons I’ve noticed is people spending way outside their normal limits while on vacation. It’s as if we enter a casino where money has no value because everything is clay chips.
I’m on a financial journey just like all of you. The only real difference may be that I record my thoughts and feelings about my progress publicly. I do my best to be as authentic as possible. By sharing what we know, we’re able to learn from others. I think we all have blind spots that need illuminating.
