The Great Family Escape: You Don’t Have to Fly To Earn a Million Frequent Flyer Miles

GFE Logo

Back in early December, I stumbled upon a spectacular family blogging at The Great Family Escape. Justin’s (the dad from The Great Family Escape) journey with his family is tremendously inspirational to me, in that they are selling everything they own and embarking on an incredible journey to travel the world in less than a year from now.

I sometimes have a hard time putting together a bag of stuff for Goodwill. Or sometimes worse, I know the value of things all to well, and try selling everything instead for top dollar. Once my wife came along, my life changed for the better. Mrs. InACents is a thrower away of stuff and donates lots of stuff to charity. Coming from a “hoarder” type of family, it really helped me become unattached from material things. Then when our boys came along, I pretty much completely lost the desire to have much of anything material for my own enjoyment. However, to sell everything I own is a scary proposition. Especially when we just purchased our dream home recently. Maybe that is my problem of being too tied down with material things, and why I really am inspired by the bold steps Justin’s family is taking.

Today my article is being hosted at The Great Family Escape, which highlights some basics and guidance for users looking to get involved in the credit card game. I was honored when Justin contacted me several weeks ago to write a guest post for users interested in traveling the world. Without a doubt, the fastest way to build up your reward accounts, that are then used to travel the world for cheap or FREE, is through credit cards. For some reason when I talk to people about seeing the world for free, and explain the many advantages of opening credit cards for huge bonuses, they either do not get the concepts or are scared. In reality, there is not anything to be nervous about if you manage your credit responsibly. The article really should act as a great resource for people on steps and sites they can use to start earning rewards that can be used to fund your family adventures.

So please head over to The Great Family Escape and hopefully you can learn something new that inspires me. Thanks Justin for allowing us to share in your journey! If you have any questions, please feel free to comment on Justin’s post, or email either of us with any questions. Save Money, Travel More!
