7️⃣ Fly Smarter ✈️

Consider semi-private flights (JSX, etc.) to bypass TSA lines and security hassles.

It's triple the cost of commercial, but a fraction of private, saving you HOURS of wasted time at the airport. ⏳

6️⃣ Upgrade Your Commute 🚗

Driver or ride-sharing services are the key!

Reclaim up to 30 hours/month by outsourcing the chore of driving. Use that time to work, create, or simply relax! 😌

5️⃣ Landscape Smarter 🏡

Mowing, weeding, trimming, gutter cleaning... it eats up 1-2 hours per week!

For around $300/month, free up your weekends and enjoy a pristine yard without lifting a finger. 💸
