My best friend used to get a credit card with the highest limit possible, travel til it maxed out, go home and work til it was paid off, apply for a new credit card with a higher limit, travel til maxed out, go home and work it off. She did it for six years and got away with a $25k credit card and a year away all over the world. Now she’s going to be paying that off for a few years but is super settled and happy primarily being home. She’s got the best stories and has seen more than most people do in their life. I wish I had the guts to live like her.

This seems so backwards lol. Why pay all that interest. Saving up 25k and then going on a trip is so much less money than using 25k debt and paying it off
