Summer Road Trips: Microcosm of Our Financial Lives

Summer road trips have been a tradition for families across the country for many generations. They have changed over time with updated technology (i.e. cars, GPS, lodging, etc.), but the basic concepts of seeing something new while also possibly visiting distant family remain the same. To make this once a year event successful requires extensive planning. Having recently returned from our own summer road trip to the west coast to visit family, I can attest that much goes into the plan!
