I'm no financial advisor, and my dad might actually murder me for recommending this (apparently you're supposed to pay for things using money you already have?) (weird!), but Priceline accepts Affirm, so you can pay for flights in installments.
After getting a little drunk watching 'Mamma Mia' and crying on the airplane (my favorite activity, bar none) last January, I booked a vacation for Greece that I just paid off liiike this month. Smart? Not sure. Responsible? Who's to say?! But if you know you'll be able to afford $169/month for the next like year of your life and you don't mind the occasional overdraft, it def makes international traveling -- specifically, sitting on an island drinking cocktails brought to you by a very hot Greek waiter who says "that's sad" when you say you're there alone-- more accessible.

Watching my money make money makes me feel like a mad scientist!
Also, I recommend the site PointsYeah and my dear friends new substack 'Shreycation' for foolproof methods re: hacking points and flying anywhere for little to no $$.
As a Southwestern girlie I am fired UP about flying home for less :))

Ok this is a deep cut from my personal collection... I would lay my life down for Trusted Housesitters - you can find free accommodations in almost every city and country with a little forethought and some sleuthing. You can book from a weekend to several months.. All you do is sign up to watch someone's pet! I've stayed in some GORGEOUS houses. Some more remote stays include a car. It runs about $150 a year with a referral link - there are higher subscription tiers that insure for cancellation. Don’t let Air BnB rob U.🌵

Ugh, a little ~good vibes only~ , I know, and I realize this is, like, the vegetables of gossip, but I'm so into gushing about how much I love someone to someone else when they aren't there. That's positive energy, baby! RIDE THAT WAVE.
