Summary

Unplugging is not something we do well in our warp-speed these days - but we should. In fact, there are scientific studies that suggest that being able to truly relax and rest has been shown to boost productivity, increase creativity, and reduce the long-term risks of potentially fatal ailments. So we decided to do just that - unplug a bit, reconnect, increase our creativity, and visit a place that many haven't even heard of - Texas Hill Country River Region. On This Podcast Episode: Sometimes we all need to escape the hustle and bustle of our daily lives to find a place where the pace is not so frantic, the locals are a lot friendlier, and the beauty of nature envelopes your soul with a warm Earth Day-esque hug. My co-host, Jeff Game, discuss how unplugging vacations can be one of the best investments you can make (not only as a couple but also in helping us get back in touch with what matters most in life). We recently decided to leave our city slicker lives behind for a few days, unplug and explore the quintessential Americana Texas Hill Country River Region, located in Uvalde County. And, it kind of ruled! As we hopped in our rental car for the hour and a half drive from San Antonio to Texas Hill Country River Region, cranked up our Willie Nelson playlist and could already feel the stress fall away along the roadside.

0:00.0	Hey, I'm Shawna Compton Game. This is Millennium Money, and today we're talking unplugging in the Texas Hill River region.
0:25.3	Millennial Money with Shawna Compton game.
0:29.4	It will expand your brain.
0:42.0	Hey, we've got another Ask Shana question, and this question comes from Dakota.
0:46.4	Dakota says, hi, Shauna, I'm planning to move to a new city without job prospects.
0:51.8	I'm willing to work any job, but I want to be prepared to not have a consistent income.
0:53.8	How much should I save before leaving?
0:56.0	I have about $12,000 in savings, but the cost of living in the new city is significantly higher than in my current location.
1:01.7	Should I aim to cover expenses for a certain period of time? What's the best way to predict expenses
1:06.8	from across the country? Is it possible, in your opinion, for me to make this move and stay
1:11.6	financially intact? I'm too much of a planner to make this choice impulsively. Thanks in
1:16.9	advance for all your advice, Dakota. Well, Dakota, that is an awesome question. And I pick this
1:23.2	one specifically because I'm getting a lot of questions lately about people wanting to move, wanting
1:29.0	to even move out of the country or just to another state and trying to figure out whether it
1:33.6	makes sense. So I think there are a couple of things to think about. The first is, you know,
1:39.6	can you at least make some connections on LinkedIn or with friends in your new city to start
1:46.5	finding out about possible jobs before you even make the move. That's really going to give you
1:52.7	a leg up when you get there and you start looking for a job. But I think the important thing is
1:59.1	to try and at least get some kind of job once you
2:02.0	move, even if it's part time or a lower paying job, just to reduce the drag on your savings.
2:08.9	You know, a lot of times we're like, well, I'm going to hold out for my perfect job,
2:13.1	but holding out for your perfect job could sometimes take months, if not years, and really could leave you,
