Things to do BEFORE checking into an all-inclusive resort 👇 Most families skip these. Don’t. 😅 💊 Bring your own medicine Resort shops charge 5–10x more. Tylenol, Advil, Pepto, Benadryl, Band-Aids. 💵 Bring small cash bills Housekeeping, pool staff, beach service. Airport exchange rates are brutal. 📱 Download offline maps Resort WiFi can be terrible. Google Maps offline = lifesaver with kids. 🧴 Buy sunscreen BEFORE you fly $8 at Target. $30+ at the resort gift shop. 🍹 Check what’s actually included Premium liquor? Restaurants? Room service? Read the fine print first. 👟 Pack water shoes Rocky beaches + kids barefoot = bad combo. Most families learn these the hard way 😂 💾 Save this before your next resort trip.

@DTra1ns @DrewVento Depends on the area. A lot of families actually move to Atlanta for the value.

@FamTravelHack @DrewVento Atlanta is a ghetto shithole.

Say you make $250k a year, fully remote, but have to live in the US, what city would you live in?

@NewsWire_US My wallet looking at gas prices 😭 TOO SMALL

TRUMP: INCREASE IN FUEL PRICES IS SMALL PRICE TO PAY

@MorePerfectUS This is exactly why points & miles aren’t optional anymore. Cash prices keep going up… but points don’t rise the same way.

The cost of domestic plane tickets has risen dramatically this year, per WSJ.

@Jason90Amp That’s exactly what I’m seeing too. $4K–6K seems to be the new “normal” for a family of 4

@FamTravelHack Usually spend $5000 for family of 4

@EndWokeness This isn’t political. My dad worked at Walmart — stores shut down because of theft. No profit = no store. It’s that simple. My dad lost his job because of it. Hold criminals accountable, not the businesses.

Chicago Alderman William Hall wants to see Walgreens face charges for closing (over a shoplifting crisis)

@KevinSzabo14 $10K? That’s just 2 months of daycare for 2 kids 😭

What would you even do with $10,000?

Spirit is gone. Is JetBlue next? They’ve been losing money for multiple quarters… and fuel costs are rising again. But here’s the reality: They still have ~$2–3B in total liquidity, according to recent filings and Reuters reports. So no — they’re not “weeks away” from bankruptcy. But if fuel stays high, things could get very interesting. For families, this matters more than people think. Fewer budget airlines = higher flight prices ✈️ This is exactly why points & miles are becoming essential.

@business @tomwblack @opinion Budget airlines kept travel accessible. Without them, points & miles become the only way for families to travel. ✈️

Despite the demise of Spirit Airlines, the US needs a low-cost carrier to keep basic fares in check, @tomwblack says (via @opinion) bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Running the math on my Chase Sapphire Reserve this year is insane. Here’s what I’ve already gotten back: 💳 Annual fee: $795 • $300 travel credit → -$300 • $500 The Edit hotel credit → -$500 • $150 dining credit (so far) → -$150 • $150 StubHub credit (so far) → -$150 • Priority Pass lounges → ~$850 value • Apple TV + Music → $288 value Total value so far: $2,238 Annual fee: $795 Net gain: +$1,443 💰 And I still have more credits to use this year. And that’s before the points. Every grocery run. Every gas station. Every dinner out. All turning into free flights for my family ✈️ The math doesn’t lie. Most families are leaving thousands on the table every year. 💾 Save this before your next card decision.

@_staraa @FluentInFinance Honestly, probably not. It might just help keep prices from increasing.

@FamTravelHack @FluentInFinance Do you really think this will lower prices ?

BREAKING: Delta Air Lines will no longer offer free snacks or drinks on all flights starting May 19th (under 350 miles). Meanwhile, Delta CEO Ed Bastian received $27.1 million in 2024. Consumers lose, every single time.

The worst part of flying? It's finally being fixed. 🛜 Starlink just changed in-flight WiFi forever. Here's what's actually different: 📶 Speed Much faster than traditional in-flight WiFi Stable enough to actually use 🎬 What you can actually do • Stream Netflix & YouTube • Zoom calls that don't freeze • Email, Slack, work normally • Keep kids entertained for hours 😮‍💨 ✈️ Airlines already on it • Delta — rolling out now • United — coming soon 💰 Cost • Free on some Delta flights • Varies by airline No more paying $50 for WiFi that barely loads a photo. 😤 Game changer for families on long flights. ✈️

@SingaporeAir @Starlink Starlink is a game changer for in-flight WiFi. Much faster and more reliable than traditional systems. This could completely change the flying experience.

We’re enhancing our complimentary in flight Wi-Fi offering across all cabin classes on our Airbus A350-900 long-haul and ultra-long-range fleet and A380 aircraft from 2027. @Starlink, the fastest Wi-Fi in the sky, will provide multi-gigabit connectivity on board. Soon, you can stream, game, and send large files just like on the ground. Find out more: spr.ly/6010BBkIA2

@Neliswa_Nelli It matters, but how you build your own family and manage finances together matters more.

Guys, does the financial status of the family you're marrying into matter?

@sask_trucker_ If it’s actually 0% APR, then yeah—it might make sense.

Tesla's now offering financing for 96 months 🤦

@t_sadiity Great for content creators… but for a family trip? No chance. I need at least 4–5 days.

I saw a girl go on trip for 24 hours … no hotel. Just off the plane , into the city … she did like 4/5 things .. And then back on a ✈️ that night . Is this a thing now ?

@Polymarket Seeing more places move to QR-based drink systems with time limits. Saw this at SeaWorld—an elderly woman couldn’t figure it out in time and didn’t even get her drink. If they’re switching the system, it should be user-friendly.

JUST IN: McDonald’s to eliminate self-serve soda stations nationwide by 2032, citing “changing consumer habits”

@krpisoweb3 Deal with kids’ tantrums for a few hours… you’ll fall asleep instantly 😂

Made it to Miami 🌴 Slept a few hours. Now i’m wide awake at 4am 😅😅 What’s your go-to move to fix a jet lagged schedule fast?
