Rob Scores and his wife, Julianne, didn’t spend much time planning or saving for their Puerto Rico vacation. Selling old jewelry helped them take off.
on their dream vacation list. So when an opportunity to go there with their friends came up in February, they jumped at the chance.
The Austin, Texas-based couple lives well on a joint six-figure income. Julianne lost her full-time tech job in 2023, which made money a bit tighter, but they still feel comfortable managing their typical expenses, including some credit card debt and payments on a truck, Scores says. Julianne has been taking on freelance gigs while looking for full-time work.
The profit helped bolster the couple's savings, allowed them to complete a bathroom renovation on their home in Austin and even let them consider. They were able to save by splitting the cost of their Airbnb and rental car with their friends, but because Julianne works from home and Scores mainly travels within the contiguous U.S. for work, the couple wanted to experience the best of this new destination.
"She was like, 'I'm not gonna do anything with this ... whatever we can get for it,' and then we were surprised with what we got for it — I mean, the cost of gold isn't exactly low right now."is up more than 12% year over year as of April. The couple's profit didn't cover their whole trip, but it did put a dent in the $5,000 total cost.
