I would like to do a lot more traveling in my golden years.

But travel is very expensive.

One more reason why I want to continue working for as long as possible.

I would like to take longer vacations when I get older.

**But travel is very expensive.**

Not as expensive as you think. There are ways to get the costs way down.

For instance, next week I am flying the family (3) from to central Florida. It’s costing 4,500 British Airways Frequent Flyer points each and $16. A one way car rental coming back is $16 day.

Last year I took 4 of us to a resort in Thailand, flew business class, for about $4,000 total, all in. If I had paid cash for everything it would have cost about $55,000.

(There are ways to rack up frequent flyer miles and hotel points without traveling. That’s my plan.)

I’m doing the work I will be doing just to keep my mind sharp. I too would go crazy if I stayed home.
