5 Travel Tips For Cash & Credit
How to keep your cash and credit cards out of the hands of thieves.
One of the biggest challenges of traveling today is traveling safely. The simple act of travel
puts your finances at risk, whether from direct theft, identity theft, pickpocketing
or other nefarious strategies. You need to be smart, and you need to be careful.
Here are five things to do whenever you travel away from home.
Inform your bank and credit card companies before you leave. When you go
far away from home, it’s always a good idea to inform your bank and your credit card companies.
Why? Your bank may notice that your card is being used for transactions internationally and shut down your card without
notice or with minimal notice, leaving you without a card in another part of the country or in a foreign nation. That can be a
big problem.
A simple phone call to your banks and credit card companies before you travel can go a long way toward preventing a headache if your cards get canceled due to an unexpected charge from an unusual location.
Carry a minimal and smart wallet. There’s no reason for you to be strolling about in unfamiliar territory with all your credit cards and all your money in your wallet. It’s just a bad idea. A simple pickpocket or thief can put you in a seriously compromised position.
A solution to this problem is to only carry one credit card when out and about. Leave a second card – from another issuer – in
a safe place back at the hotel, ideally in a safe if one is available. If you’re not driving, leave your drivers license in a secure
place, too. That way, if one item gets stolen, you have backups.
Separate your money and keep some of it secure. Another strategy is to separate your cash and not keep all of it in the
same place.
While traveling, leave some cash in a few different places in you’re room, vehicle and hotel safe. That way, if you were to get
pickpocketed or be the victim of some other kind of theft, your not in an immediate disastrous situation. Also some experts
suggest to keep a small amount of cash stashed in your sock (like a single $50 bill) in case you need it in an absolute pinch.
(I’m sure it has come in handy for someone before.)
Use a money belt. Still, none of these strategies actually keep your pockets safe from prospective thieves. The solution to
that is to use a money belt.
A money belt is a pouch that wraps around your torso underneath your shirt, keeping your key belongings in a safe place
that’s difficult for anyone to get to. A thief can’t touch a well-placed money belt.
Use a credit card for purchases, not a debit card. A credit card offers many financial advantages for purchases over a debit
card in any situation, but that’s never quite so true as when traveling.
A little bit of planning ahead can make an enormous difference when it comes to traveling with
money. It can keep you safe and secure in even the most challenging circumstances.

U.S. high school graduates left
over $2.9 billion in free federal
grant money on the table last academic year,
according to a new analysis by NerdScholar,
the higher education team at NerdWallet. Their
mistake? Not completing the Free Application
for Federal Student Aid, or the FAFSA.
Although filling out a FAFSA form is the key
to unlocking FREE federal money, the form
itself is very confusing and can be a major drain
on your time. Parents, if you have a child who
is attending college in 2016 it is not too late to
take advantage of free federal money and other
college funding in order to maximize your out
of pocket dollars.
