All the Money Hacks We WISH We Had Known About

Episode #472 (ENCORE OF #355)
Happy Thanksgiving! This Turkey Day, we're giving you an encore of one of our favorite episodes on the money hacks EVERYONE should know about! This was one of our top shows of last year and will teach you how to save better, spend less, and travel for CHEAP! Enjoy!
______
Travel hacks, spending hacks, medical hacks. If there’s one thing that Chris Hutchins has learned from hosting the All the Hacks podcast, it’s that everything is negotiable. You can travel to over sixty countries for (almost) free, outsource your cooking at a reasonable rate and even get free money once forgotten. Chris should know-he’s done all this and more as he works to optimize every aspect of his life, both financially and personally!
Chris was hacking at a very young age. In high school, he made a fake magazine so he could score free press passes to concerts. When he was away at boarding school, he would buy whole pizzas and sell them by the slice just to afford a few slices of his own. Then, later when he quit his job to travel the world, Chris and his partner hit over sixty countries, using credit card points to globetrott from South Africa to Singapore!
Now, as a father, Chris is more concerned about hacking his time. He’s got kids to take care of and doesn’t want to waste a second of his day that could be spent planning for, or playing with, his children. In today’s episode, you’ll hear some of the most insane life hacks, from hiring a personal chef for a fraction of the cost to getting free champagne at any hotel stay and even snagging twenty to thirty percent off of your dream vacation villa. These hacks work (we tried them in real-time), and you may need a pen and paper to write them all down!

Thank you so much for this episode! One quick tip to add - when I searched for the unclaimed money, I didn't find anything with my married name, but when I searched my maiden name I found over $100 from a very busy time in my life that must have gone to the wayside. Thanks again!

[@user-zx5vr8xr9q]

Love your podcasts but not sure lying to get into a concert and ripping off the musicians is something to be celebrated. Much better too earn/make the money with integrity and ingenuity and buy a ticket. Rest of the show is great though.

[@barbbrazes869]

Agree!

[@jayzee5855]

Stop complaining. The channel is great. The dude explained his hacks the hell that has to do with the podcast?

[@johnl9135]

Found 2 cents Discover owed to me 😂

Amazon Smile was discontinued long ago.

I love this 🎉

[@discovershare1221]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences! Where is the line drawn between hacking/stealing/lying?

[@DiandraStarShine]

you should actually watch the show.🙄 because he was a kid, a minor back then going to small basement concerts. as an ADULT, he's not endorsing that so if you DO watch it you should be able to be discerning & comprehend the LIFE hacks discussed are ways to save money, there's NO stealing or lying involved..at all & just smdh.😐

[@discovershare1221]

Thank you for your perspective. You’re correct, he was younger at the time. We all have our own moral guidance.

Mentally exhausting😢
