For this episode, we did something a little different: we turned to our Instagram followers (@travelmomsquad) to guide the conversation. Yes, every single question we tackle in this episode came straight from you, our loyal listeners!
One question that sparked a lively discussion was about our strategy with credit cards—do we keep them open even after hitting the minimum spend? Let’s just say, if you’ve been closing your cards after hitting the minimum spend, you might want to reconsider.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg! We answered a wide range of questions…tune in now to hear them all!
If you’re not already following us on Instagram, we encourage you to do so. We love to engage with our listeners and the IG platform provides a wonderful space for us to do just that. Join our IG family, submit your questions, and you might just hear them answered in our next episode.
So, what are you waiting for? Hit play to hear the full episode now and join us on this exhilarating ride. We can’t wait to share our adventures with you!
