I get often asked how I started traveling and whether I had a lot of money when I did. I did not but travel is a priority to me, just like nails and hair are for others. So even when I was living check-to-check and had very little financial knowledge, I set aside $1,000 from my income taxes each year for travel. As I begin to read more books, listen to podcasts, and sign up for courses to learn more about money, I begin to find different ways to save. It doesn’t take a lot to start exploring. At first it may look like a road trip in the next city over or the next state over and that’s okay. Do what works for you and gradually work your way up.
