Traveling in the 1800s versus today from New York City
All the points of travel start at New York City.
By 1930 with the advent of railroads, What took 2 weeks in the 1800s, was now only 1 day.
Can you imagine? Now it’s hours.

I am a wealth-obsessed, style-focused, minimalist.
I got out of $60,000 of debt in 18 months with The Budgeting Tool which I now sell online and donate its net proceeds to charity.
I earn like a princess on average $20,000 a month when I work but am trying hard to live like a pauper by not spending all of it.
The rest of the time I relax and enjoy the time off by traveling, although traveling has been on hold lately with the arrival of Baby Bun, my rambunctious, ever-hungry toddler.
Welcome.

Travelling is now faster and more affordable before people had to take days traveling to reach the desired location, now only a matter of hours to get where we want.

Very true… which is why when people say they’d LIKE to travel but can’t do it because of money, I want to squeal. 🙂 You don’t need thousands to travel, you just have to give up some luxuries.

Now travel is so easy, it’s amazing what people had to put up with before.
