When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive, to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Optimize Points and Miles
Sign up for AwardWallet to track all of your points and miles across all airline and hotel rewards programs and get alerted if your points are about to expire. I’ve started signing up for all major airline reward programs even if I’m not planning to fly with that carrier in the near future. Some airline reward programs that were free in the past now have a fee. Once you’ve got all of your miles and points in one dashboard connect it to Point.Me which will search for flights and show you the cheapest way to book a flight including all steps required for transferring points between your accounts.
Flight Hack
Learn how to get a FREE flight by booking 3 United flights in one booking with the United Excursionist Perk.

Highly recommend reading up on this travel hack.
Car Rental Hack
Save money on car rentals by using AutoSlash, the best site to use for searching for car rental deals. Then track your booking for even more savings if the price drops.
Cash Back Browser Extension
A friend told me about Rakuten last month; it gives you CASH back on many sites and will automatically show you a notification in your browser when you’re on a supported site. I used my friend’s referral link and received $30 deposited into my PayPal account for making my first purchase with the extension. You also can get $30 by signing up to Rakuten through my link and making a purchase: https://www.rakuten.com/r/SANE17?eeid=57122
