Gone on more vacations. I had many opportunities to but money was pretty tight for me my whole life, so I couldn't really afford it unless I wanted to be broke for a few months.

I think you are not alone on this one. Many don't take vacations. Europeans tend to take more vacations than Americans..

..these days I travel more and tend to say "yes" more often to situations that go outside my comfort zone. I found setting up goals automatically via a computer to save an x amount of $ each day helps vs trying to do it manually.

This is a pretty interesting article on how to travel for long periods of time without costing ridiculous amounts of money that you may find interesting.

I read it and immediately laughed when it said to sell everything. I'm not trying to sell my belongings. However, couchsurfing does sound like a good idea because I feel like hosts can be awesome! Thanks for the article!

Yeah, the article seems to be more directed towards people who want to travel for extended periods of time. Glad I can help!

This is a good one. I think experiences are important. I try to skip being lazy at home and go visit more friends. Lazy days are nice too though
