We went way over budget on our return to the US. It has been a great month seeing family and friends but it has been expensive. We'll break down everything we spent and then we go over how much YouTube paid us and share if we covered our expenses or not.

why do you have to buy car insurance? don't any of your cards provide primary car insurance? our capital one venture X does...

Thanks so much for sharing. We are so ready to start slow traveling. Especially since Hurricane 🌀 Milton just tore up every thing around us.

Just waiting for our daughter to finish school 🏫 😊 in a few more years.

It's nice that you are letting yourselves enjoy each city instead of trying to be super-strict with your budget. As you said, having these experiences can actually help you financially by allowing you to get more content for your different channels. Trying to tighten your belts when you don't need it makes life a bit less enjoyable

[NoahsArkKYTravelers]

Great video about monthly expenses! I'm enjoy your YouTube coarse!

[JeffMelsonVlogs]

Looking forward to seeing all the new content from all the travel over the last month!

I want to start a channel for my husband and myself, but we aren’t fully retired yet. I’ve commented before that we are Texas teachers…retire/rehires. I’m a little unsure about starting our channel since we aren’t traveling full time, which is what I think our real niche could be, but…we could do a channel about life…any suggestions-I just want to get started!

Love these videos. Very inspiring. Will be purchasing both of your courses in January using my new Chase card to be obtained in Dec(because of you two). Thanks again.

[catwatches]

You guys are awesome. I love your channels.

[brendamichals]

Glad you were able to come back “home” and visit family 😊
You have such a great philosophy of life! I love watching you guys share your knowledge and life experiences 😊

[sbayles]

Thanks for your honesty about travel choices based on YouTube content.
Much cheaper to rent a car than own one since you rarely need one.

[LLMiller]

love your videos! And the transparency. Could ya'll do a video on what your typical day is like?

[tvangeld]

I’m in Alpharetta! Let me know next time you’re here! 😊😊

[GreenwayElectric]

Thank you very much for sharing your budget and expenses with us. Seeing your success is very motivating! I’m pushing hard to keep going forward in my journey, using the lessons from the YouTube course!

[MelRunsThings]

Really love your transparency & your success is encouraging.
Love to know how youbget on with meals, do you look for hitels/apartments with kitchens? Or eat out a lot?

[FoodiesVacations]

Hi, great video. Yes, the US seems sooo expensive. Also, Chase didn’t cover the car insurance? That sucks. That was one of the reasons I got that card. They brag about their coverage! I use rentals a lot. Y’all still did a great job with this budget… honestly I thought it was going to be more. 😊

[VanGoghGlobetrotter]

I’ll live in Ringgold, Georgia! I was shocked to hear you guys mention it! Great channel!😊

[TheSicilianLife]

Great video, guys ~ so glad you have been able to enjoy being with your family regardless of the expense. I'm loving my ProArt as well! Thanks for the recommendation. 😊😊 Blessings, ~ Carol Amato

I had a feeling you would be shocked at how much prices have gone up since you were last in the USA. It has gotten ridiculous.

[CarlitoswayDR]

I like the content and idea of retire early and live in different places. For me I think that would as a part of the year plan and at some point return home even if it’s a small apartment for a few months. I feel I would miss family and kids too much to just be year round elsewhere but home. So maybe 6 months traveling around and 6 home. I would also have a perm cheap very cheap car at home for our return with just liability on it or pause it while I’m out. The idea of no place landing would get my wife uncomfortable and terrified lol

[jwillard]

I thought one of those fancy C-cards had insurance stuff on it to cover vehicle stuff?
