Your viewing increase speaks volumes for how fun/informative and pleasant it is to watch you. I would love to take some credit because I mentioned you on my retiree Facebook page (14, 000 followers), but it's all credit to you. :)

Love the addition of the clips from what each of the budget line items look like IRL!

Another inspirational video. My wife and I are trying to figure out how to change our situation so we might travel.

We live in Tampa and pay $2 for movie theater tickets on Saturdays. The movies are old but it is so hot here we don't care because it is something to do in AC. Also, for three of us we spend $800 per month for groceries and out to eat. We buy all organic, grass-fed beef, wild salmon....great stuff. You do you, and you can afford it, but costs seems high. A special movie experience is no big deal but those food costs!

The Bed Movie looks so awesome! I know you've mentioned the personal care prices before but each time I hear it I am blown away.
The cruise channel is the gift that keeps on giving.
I look forward to these updates each month.

The $30 for the theater with access to the snacks...wow. We haven't been to a movie theater since 2020...but snacks alone were about $30 with popcorn and drinks. I believe the tickets were about $8 each. Not sure what it costs now.

My favorite video you’ve done is the train ride through the Swiss Alps. I’ve been to Switzerland and was just amazed by the stunning natural beauty.

This post really made my heart smile. You guys have gotten this thing down to a science!! Congrats on a good month (yet again!). And wow, you stayed awake on those beds?? No way I could have done that. I fall asleep on the tarmac push-back! 😂😂 And that buffet looked so yummy. Question, are there ever any crowds?? None at the theatre, none at the restaurant, and I never see any at the pools. Just curious... Thanks again for another fantastic post. We've got to go ahead and get the GoPro and your course and get started.🤑

Thank you so much for the informative video. Again, I love your transparency. You guys are so motivational! My 61st bday was on 7/23. As my main gift, my husband got me the Go Pro Hero 12 Black. We travel alot and will do more when when retire in two years. I'll be signing up for your class soon so that we can start practicing and getting ready to launch our channel. Thank you for being such an inspiration! 🙂

I'm in Central Indiana. Movies here start at $4.50 for an adult and go up from there. It depends on the movie and the time. Some movies don't have ticket prices as low as $4.50. There was a movie I recently wanted to see and it was $12.50 and they didn't offer any discounted times. I chose not to go.

I've truly enjoyed this video and previous live chat! It was a lot of fun and very informative! Thanks for sharing!!🤗🌺🌇

[threelittlepotters]

Love the additional footage this time!!

[kimdowell]

I want to go to the bed theater!!! It would totally be more than $30 per person in the US!!! We are in NM right now and went to the movies last week. It was $11 each and we got 1 popcorn with 2 lg drinks for $18 so total $40 with no refills.
