This has to be the best YouTube channel ever. Easy breakdown, doable, and no if and or butt about it. Luxury for Less! Thanks guys!

This presentation gave me a paradigm shift. I have to get out of debt so I can change the way I live. I thank you for showing me some possibilities for my future.

Thanks for the amazing breakdown that finally reveals how to make these cards work! Comments on how good these cards could be always seemed like exaggerated hyperbole or requiring some kind of complex shell game to make it work. Your step by step guide is what I needed to realize the benefit. This is the first real breakdown I've seen of this on YouTube. Appreciate your analytical engineering minds and willingness to share! Thanks!

But wait there’s more…
Recall you pointed out in your prior video not having to spend on line items like insurance, taxes, water, electricity, maintenance & household items that we do for our own home. All are eliminated when slow travel living in a hotel. Brilliant strategy!

After watching this I got an IHG credit card and transferred my Chase points to Southwest Airlines and Hyatt to cover my flight and hotel to Fort Lauderdale before my transatlantic cruise. So grateful for the tips!!

[titanispi]

Great info! Now if you can do that for Europe and South America it would be great. Looking forward to the plane tips.

Mind blowingly useful. Seriously my brain is cracked open and filled with knowledge I would’ve never gotten otherwise. Thank you.

[getsugatenshoFTW]

Just discovered this channel. I am mindblown from this

[davidbaillieul]

Very well laid out. You folks take it to the next level!

New subscriber here. Even though I am single, I am totally going to start earning and buying points for stays! I am watching all of your videos now! From this educator, you all are amazing teachers 😊❤

[kaykay]

I love your channels you guys are like best friends to all of us… thank you so much for being so willing to share your information with us.. and not making it difficult to understand that’s awesome! Plus you guys have awesome personalities. God Bless You for your generosity!❤

Another awesome video. Thank you for providing a great blueprint for our travel. We used AirBNBs for years (and have been hosts) and just got so disappointed in the declining quality and high expections (cleaning and huge cleaning fee) that hosts had for their guests.

Your hotel living hack is brillant and will fit well into our plan. My wife worked a 30 year career for the airlines. I just retired. We like SE Asia and the Mediterrean. We think this hotel living lifestyle could work well for our intended 50% travel plan.

Excellent job you guys. As a fellow YouTuber, I can appreciate what it takes for you to do these videos and clearly, you both do an excellent job of sharing valuable tips. Thank you.

[Anonumia]

I don't plan on traveling fulltime after retirement, but I like listening to you both and watch every videos. It is very inspiring!

[kathyoliva]

Fabulous THANK YOU! Plus, as you note in many other videos, these wonderful hotels also provide cleaning (often daily), fresh towels, fresh linens etc. FANTASTIC

[mississippiapple]

OMG! Dream come true! I was so confused but wanted more info!

[deyanirazerpa]

Thank you! Looking forward the video related to Airlines!

[KandyGTV]

I love this, I'm taking my daughter to Japan for her graduation gift and this is the perfect solution for us to stay for longer!

[CM-qhwj]
