☆ I booked a premium ticket on Florida's high-speed Brightline train for just $44. The first-class experience was fabulous.

Brightline, a high-speed train operating in Florida, offers an alternative to road and air travel. A premium ticket offers first-class amenities like snacks, drinks, and access to a special lounge. The Orlando to Miami journey from end to end takes about three hours and thirty minutes. On a sunny Saturday in March, I took a Brightline train from Fort Lauderdale to West Palm Beach. I decided to splurge on a premium ticket for $44 — $20 more than a regular ticket — and I'm glad I did.

☆ I spent $150 on a 30-minute 'power nap' designed to improve my health

Read previewI recently visited the Fairmont Century Plaza's 14,000-square-foot spa and well-being center in Los Angeles to experience a 30-minute "power nap" biohacking treatment. Put simply, biohacking is using methods from scientific fields like biology and neurology to enhance one's health and well-being. This power nap would involve making a series of incremental changes to my body that, according to the spa's site, could either help me feel more relaxed or more energized. I paid $150 for my 30-minute "power nap" session, which is also offered in increments of 60 and 90 minutes for an additional cost.

☆ I upgraded my Amtrak seat to first class by bidding $95. Here's what the 4-hour ride was like.

I bid on an Amtrak upgrade and went from business class to first class. My upgrade cost $95 (on top of my $57 business-class ticket) and came with lounge access and food. The Amtrak Lounge was elegant, the first-class seat was spacious and I enjoyed my four-hour ride. I was able to bid a minimum of $95 to get from business class to first class, which comes with complimentary meals, beverages, and large, reserved seats. Even after a $95 bid, I'd still only be paying half price for a first-class ticket, which usually costs about $300.

JP Mancini quit his corporate job in 2021 and took his boat-chartering side hustle full time. In 2022, through all my rental platforms — Boatsetter, GetMyBoat, and other smaller sites — I earned around $500,000 in revenue. One of Mancini's rental boats. A special-occasion boat rental.

My dog is a people magnet, but whether you can pet an avalanche dog depends on the situationApproach the handler first, and ask them for permission.
