My husband and I try to stick to a very strict budget since we have chosen to travel full time. I am always looking for ways to save money, or get money back on excursions, spa deals, wine tastings, etc. When we sold everything and moved to Mexico in 2017 we were 100 percent debt free. Sadly, now that we are back in the US, that isn’t the case anymore. We own our condo in Mexico outright, but we have a mortgage on our condo in Lake Ozark.
