Shad Janis and his wife Hannah moved to New York last year after spending 12 months earning 127,000 pounds from their work in banks. Shad, 25, spends an average of 80 to 100 hours a week on a global investment bank. "He hated to think of the days he used to go to the office at nine in the morning and leave at midnight. While Hannah was working in a hedge fund.
Shad says he soon realized that his passion was traveling, not banking, to spend 20 to 40 hours a week looking for the best ways to save money. Just days ago, when the couple left their jobs, with plans to spend next year flying to more than 40 countries around the world, free of charge, using airline points earned through credit card spending. The first station was Honolulu, in Hawaii.
"After winning more than 2 million points last year, we left our financial jobs, started our things and started," the Australian couple wrote on their Facebook page. "Our tickets are fully booked with points, and we're on a trip to more than 40 countries Business class, free ». The duo will also visit Tokyo, Sydney, Bangkok, Shanghai and Cairo.
Shad said he became an expert on flying points, bought 42 credit cards and saved more than 47,000 pounds on travel expenses. "Credit cards are not free money," says the young man. "We never spend money on things we do not need, so we have to meet minimum spending requirements naturally by planning ahead of our expected expenses. "We have already booked a number of free flights over the next eight months, most of which were offered by the business class at Singapore Airlines, 240,000 points per person."
The couple left their jobs and planned next year to fly to more than 40 countries.
