Absolutely loved this episode. Made me want to plan a trip to Japan!
I love all the travel episodes!! The guest for this Mexico one seemed to hold back a little and not give as much detailed info as the other guests did.
I've been to 40+ countries. Lived in 4 of them. For this guy to say Walmart is more dangerous than Mogadishu, a place where you need 4 armed men with AK47s just to leave the airport is beyond absurd and shows he doesn't know what he's talking about.
I was in the process of buying a used vehicle and needed a reliable way to check its history. That's when I discovered https://checkvin.online/. The site offered a quick and straightforward service to obtain a detailed vehicle history report. It covered everything from ownership history to any previous damages, giving me a clear picture of the vehicle's past. This service was crucial in helping me avoid purchasing a car with hidden problems, making my investment much safer.
I love your travel destination shows, Mexico in particular. Keep them coming!! ❤️
Wow, what an insightful episode! Chris Hutchins really knows how to uncover all those ingenious hacks that make life so much smoother. From personal finance to productivity and everything in between, this podcast episode was a goldmine of practical tips and tricks. https://about.me/Wax-Paperie I was particularly blown away by the section on budgeting and saving hacks. The "30-Day Expense Tracker" technique he mentioned sounds like a game-changer. I can't wait to give it a shot and see where I can cut down unnecessary spending. Also, that tip about using virtual cards for online subscriptions? Genius! It's like having a safety net for your bank account. https://wellfound.com/u/waxpaperie
yes please do the episode about card applications!! How often to apply, how many at once etc.
They really told me to cut Netflix and cook. Idk why I expected more than the obvious.
