About this listen

  Welcome to Broke is Boring. The podcast where we stop glorifying the struggle and start talking about what really matters. Freedom, living life on your own terms and the money you need to make that happen. We're your hosts, Tiffany and Jane, and we're two mamas who love making money and spending it on the things that truly matter to us. So pull up a seat at our table and let's get into it because Broke is boring and we are here to prove that money does in fact buy happiness. 1, 2, 3.  Welcome back to Broke is Boring. And today we're gonna talk about who needs couples therapy when you've got Iceland. Hello from Iceland, and we are here with our amazing friend Danielle, who also somehow crushed this romantic getaway that Tiffany and Mark planned. So let's back it all the way up. How the heck did we end up in this camper right here, huddled around our phone in Iceland to record this. Okay, so every year my parents for Christmas give us a Christmas gift of a, it started out as a weekend away. Well the first time they did that, mark and I went to Belgium for the weekend, from Indianapolis for the weekend. Yeah, because. My mom thought I was gonna like spend a romantic evening at melting pot, like having fondue with Mark in downtown Indy. No, no, no, no, no. We're going pub hopping in Brussels. Thanks so much. And so that's what we did. And somehow over the years, it has actually gotten to be one week. So this year she said, Merry Christmas, you get a week away. Where are you gonna go? Well, we went on a world cruise and I'm like, I don't know. I can't think past the world cruise. Go on the world cruise. We come back and we're like, Hmm. Jane and Dan always talked about Iceland on the cruise. Well, no, you said, where should we go? And I said, go to Iceland, but do it in a way you can't do it with your kids, which should be in a camper van. And so we did. So we were like, okay, we're doing it. We booked it. That's, hold on. That's one thing I actually really love about you guys. You always say what you're gonna do. You are like, that sounds great. And then two days later you're like, so we booked that. Like you don't think twice about anything and I really admire that about you. I think that's why Danielle and I have. Definitely connected over the years. Like so we're cousins growing up, we were, how, how different do we have six years difference. Age difference. Yes. Six or five. Yeah. So, so we were close growing up and then Danielle and Ethan came to visit us when we lived in Italy, and I think that was really when we like hit it off and kind of got the travel bug in you guys also. Is that like Yes, a right scenario? Yeah, it really was when we saw you guys in Italy and we saw it was our first experience going overseas and getting to like really hang out with you guys for an extended period of time and we realized we had so much in common. So yeah, ever since then we've loved, like following what you guys do and trying to make our own version of it too. And they've done it so they are traveling all over with their kids too. And so, when you suggested that we do a camper van in Iceland, we're like, okay, yeah, we're gonna go do that. And then what happened ladies? And then we got jealous and we're like, well. I wanna come on that. We, we wanna come. Yeah. That actually sounds amazing, weren't it? And then I was like, there's no way my mom would watch Luca for a whole week. And I don't know how she said it. I think I, I probably planted the seed. 'cause I'm really good at that. Yes, you are. And I'm like, oh mom, Tiffany and Mark are going to Iceland for a week. How amazing is that? They're doing it without kids and, and then I think she eventually offered and we took her up on it immediately. Yeah, that's right. Because I think on the world cruise we had discussed that we have this week away. So Betsy was there also listening to my parents talk about all the shenanigans we've gotten into over the years, getting this week away. And then when she offered to watch Luca for the week, then even Mark and I were like, you have to come. Like this is the opportunity of a lifetime. Let's go. Well then it was like that weekend, right? We went to one of my, I, my cousin's house we're playing, I think we were playing kickball. Kickball that weekend. Kickball, yes. And we're talking about it. And then we ended up, yeah, we ended up crashing along to, I don't even remember our exact conversation, but we were like. We're in, like, that sounds amazing. You want to come And we actually have never done a kid free trip ever. My oldest son's nine years old and we've never been away for any kind of trip. So we went to my mom and was like so what do you think about this? And she agreed. It was really funny because Ethan said that or maybe you said your mom. Asked like, why Iceland? And you're like, yeah, yeah. We were like, we've never been. It sounds awesome. It looks beautiful. And the only, the only rule was that we ...
