FF TV Episode #3: Travel With a Water Bottle and Save Hundreds Every Year

J.D. over at Get Rich Slowly launched a video contest last month to go along with the release of his new book, Your Money: The Missing Manual. He had readers competing for a cash prize or copies of his new book by posting videos in one of two categories 1) sharing a personal finance story or 2) sharing a favorite personal finance tip.

Since I’ve been traveling a little bit more than usual within Japan, I posted a video about my favorite travel hacking personal finance tip that I think people tons of people could use in their lives to save hundreds of dollars every year: simply traveling with a water bottle.

Enjoy and feel free to share your favorite travel hacking money tips in the comments!
