If you’re subscribed to the newsletter, you know that we went to Venice last weekend.

We came in about $100 under budget, and the entire trip only cost us around $400.

I’ll write about our experience, what to do there, and how to spend the least amount of money.

I have all kinds of good stuff coming in the near future. I’ve been writing several unique articles that I really think can help you in your finances and productivity.

Until then, here’s what I’ve been reading this week…
