I personally have tried both and I don't travel enough (yet) to stay with a travel card. same with eating out...when youre young and trying to save money (and your waist line) by cooking all the time, the hotels and restaurant bonuses don't do much.

Gas can do a far better job for water, dryers, cooking and gas heat pumps.

I work in concrete construction full time and as a cook on the weekends.

Eviction took 4 months because cook county has terrible tenant laws. 

There were smokers in both units when I purchased the property and I well remember the time and effort it took to clean and repair the smoke damage.

I just won't deal with smokers anymore. 

Looking to purchase tax liens in cook county. 

Warren Currier is a rental owner in Boston that may offer some help with this if you reach out to him.All smokers say they won't smoke in the house.

It is similar to a cook at a popular restaurant buying meat, but cooking it on the company grills, using the waitresses to serve it out the back door to customer pulling up paying cash.

I am able to live cheap on the road; stay at a hotel with breakfast, pack lunch, cook in the room, and bunk with another guy.
