Get a job with an airline (even part time), that is the cheapest way to travel. Any job with an airline comes with free standby travel benefits. You can travel anywhere in the world even in business class for virtually nothing. Also, it's actually not smart to buy tickets from third party websites. If you buy a ticket from Skyscanner, Orbitz or whatnot, if there are issues with your flight, the airline will NOT help you because your ticket is held by the third party company, not the airline. It will be up to the third party company to find you accommodations and assistance (good luck with that).

I did the Delta ticket change hack just now after watching the video, got $100 in credit!

[@observer698]

I didn't get the hack. She said get another ticket from the same flight? and then what? ask for a return from the other one, cancel it?

[@whimsical_flower]

@@observer698 if your flight is cheaper now than when you bought it, you can either cancel and take the credit and rebook or “change flight” to another one that is the same price as the new proce, so you get the credit. Then “change flight” back to the original flight. That’s the method I did, even chose my same seat because it only takes minutes. Hope that makes sense.

[@mssunshine6259]

I love watching Your Rich BFF, Stock Brotha, & Everything Money. Love them all! ❤ ❤ ❤

[@brianchesler8238]

Agreed. Also Try financial tortoise and clear value tax (Bryan Kim).

[@vmr623]

These tips are amazing!

[@OneNightinBangkok_]

I should send this to my friends so they can visit me here in Thailand 🇹🇭🐘

[@sereling684]

Just came back from Hawaii. Hotel and flights were free (but have to pay taxes and resort fees) using credit card points. Can't complain tho, hotels and flights would have been over $5700. I only pay a few hundred.

[@mirla838]

Which credit card do you have?

[@observer698]

how did you do that?

[@damianyoung6357]

🔥🔥🔥 Awesome please 🙏🏿 share what credit card you used to accumulate those points and how long did it take you we have a similar trip planned Thanks Aloha

[@Passion84GodAlways]

This is excellent!! Thank you ❤

[@m.ophie.a3644]

Did an air france discounted upgrade at check-in from economy to premium economy; the seats were noticeably wider but not much else. Food was the same although someone said that they might upgrade it. Anyways, I got priority boarding and increased luggage allowance all the way to my final destination despite only upgrading one segment. If you need a wider seat, more bags or priority security/boarding than it might be worth it.

[@adrianamcbeath1779]

Smart advices and make me laugher. The best content.

[@ssjssj1477]

THANK YOU!!!!

[@whitneyszypula5539]

I am studying abroad in France and trying to plan a trip for my grandparents to come out and do about a 2 week loop starting from Lyon, visiting the south of France, Italian riviera and the Alps. I am trying to book hotels with points I have been saving up for this. My grandparents are so excited and my Nana said she always wanted to visit Europe and thought they never would get the chance. Unfortunately the flights for end of June are insane, and they of course are not comfortable with multiple layovers as they do not fly often, so flights with 1 stop or less are even worse. I am trying to plan everything but it is adding up quickly.

[@maryammohamud5308]

I have questions about the VPN thing. How are you supposed to know which states/provinces, countries to change your VPN to, to get the cheaper ticket???

[@mikes_in_paradise78]

Set up direct deposit with so fi and you get the 4.6% rate

[@veronicagraves5621]

Thank you.

Thank you

Hi! Where did you buy your earrings?

Does united airlines do the travel credit for fee drops too ?

good stuff Vivian, great hacks and pretty much no youtuber has ever mentioned these.

[@KarlMalowned32]

The part of traveling that is too costly are the hotels. I’m tired of spending $500 on flights, $500 on food and fun, but $1000 on a hotel. I’m starting to wonder if I should look into seedy motels for a bargain. I agree about Airbnb, not worth it.

[@getsugatenshoFTW]

look into hotel credit cards

[@m.ophie.a3644]

Try a loyalty hotel credit card. I got IHG $100 annual fee and get one free night as well as $100 United Credit in $50 installment every 6 months and a 175k point bonus that I mostly blew on the so-so 4 star in Montreal lol.

[@kerynl.sanchez9891]

There’s is a website for house exchange, I think that’s a good option

[@rsimmons1980]

Exactly!

[@EmpathAwaken]

Hostels are pretty good and usually have 1 bedroom rooms!

[@shunwilliams6180]

❤❤❤

[@naeowens9119]

I want to come to your weeding

[@Suweetha-qi6bk]

I’m curious about the tip “do not get an Airbnb” because I always get called out by my friends for getting a hotel instead. Personally, I just prefer a hotel stay and the service, but my friends often tell me I’m “wasting money” by not choosing an airbnb option. Can anyone help me out by explaining this one?

[@applefarm6126]

It's subjective, but I've heard bad things about Air B&B if a hotel works for you, use it. Don't let people try to peer pressure you into doing something you don't like.

[@amandah1875]

Airbnb used to be cheaper, now it can cost more than hotel.

[@EmpathAwaken]

It’s really about preference and how you want to travel. I love the feeling of being in a home and having full access to a kitchen with AIRBNBS.

[@fs5775]

Lounges in the US are lousy, overcrowded and ghetto - not worth it

[@sarahdoanpeace3623]

I disagree, travel is the ONLY thing I’m willing to go into debt for. Okay NOT thousands of Dollars but if I want a weekend trip every 6 months and can’t afford it, I’m taking it. Period. Life is too short to stay stationary.

[@lastpolarbearcub]

Why not save up for it and then go?

[@sarahwoodruff7229]

terrible idea

[@kerynl.sanchez9891]

Exactly, traveling is healthy and helps you mentally, physically and emotionally.

[@stop08it]

Doesn’t mean you need to go into debt.

[@oooh19]

It’s honestly sometimes worthwhile to travel and spend money it’s the experience plus even going places locally and getting essentials can be expensive Oy vey

[@vincentnnyc]

I save thousands by not traveling

[@kerynl.sanchez9891]

That’s pretty sad.

[@fs5775]

and you have a very boring life that no one envies

[@vincentnnyc]

@@fs5775 actually I don’t. My house is paid off, I have about $300k in 401k and saving. I’m 47 and have 2 kids. Now saving money for their college education

[@chenanigans]

Don't let these weirdos talk down to you. I don't travel for leisure either. I genuinely love exploring where I live and staycationing and saving money. People idolize travel and go broke for appearances on SM.

[@katiepop3442]

I respect this...Im a traveler, but I understand it's not for everyone...There is lot of work involved with travel...especially air travel!!!!

[@hjander]

Like the content, but if you're already RICH why plug SoFi or any other advertiser on your video. Does speaking in front of a camera and uploading it to YT really cost that much money? Why not avoid the appearance of bias and give your viewers a list of HYSA banks?

[@kayroberts1576]

How can I message you for help?

Hello!! @yourrichbff Vivian ~ Love, love, love ALL of your content! Quick questions in regards with setting up an appointment with YOU!? Regarding TIAA-Cref. Qdros, Roll over Roth IRA. Divorce/settlement & best way to navigate finances/investments!! Thanks!!!!

Is private relay considered a VPN?
