A year and a bit after I jumped into the freelance pool, I found myself on an airplane headed for San Francisco, where I stayed for 29 amazing days without putting any of it on credit. This is how I did it.

So, I have a wedding to attend in Los Angeles in 17 days, and I didn't book my ticket until—literally—20 minutes ago.

Is the cheaper option the better option?

But buying a bunch of different one way tickets to get to your destination also sounds like a bit of nightmare to me, especially since I don't like to be at airports any longer than absolutely necessary.

I haven't taken a road trip in a while, and am thinking about driving to my friend's wedding in Texas this fall. Will it be cheaper than flying? Probably not. But seeing what's available on the road these days may be totally worth it.
