My fiancee and I are saving for our wedding so we have been looking for ways to still have fun and save money at the same time.

This past weekend we went to Herriman State Park, here some information taken directly from the parks website.

“Harriman State Park, located in Rockland and Orange counties, is the second-largest park in the parks system, with 31 lakes and reservoirs, 200 miles of hiking trails”

Overall we had an awesome time. Did some hiking(I only fell in the creek once), did some tent camping and a lot of outdoor cooking.  Overall we spent under $300 including fuel costs($4.29 a gallon), ideally we could have picked a park that wasn’t as far of a drive(this one was 6 hours by car).

Overall we had a ton of fun hiking, and visiting the beautiful lakes and just relaxing away from the computers, TVs and cell phones.

Feel free to post about your cheap vacation ideas.

Removing the debt from your life can have truly amazing results. It reduces stress. Think about it today with gas prices over $4 per gallon does it really matter if you are earning an average income and have 0 debt? Nope not one bit, sure you would like to see it cheaper but think about the other side of the coin…

What if you are living paycheck to paycheck does $4 per gallon gas hurt you? Heck yeah!

Just a quick post today, been a long few weeks and it is really hot here today I am going to go keep cool! Until next time.
