☆ My husband and I paid for our kids' music lessons. They made enough money as street performers to fund their dream trips.

Our kids wanted to travel, so my husband and I encouraged them to earn money to fund trips. We told them we would pay for music lessons, then they could use their skills earn money busking. Our kids loved music long before we ever came up with, what we refer to as, the 'travel project.' Over the same period, we spent approximately $4,800 on music lessons. When you consider the travel, the experience, and the sense of achieving a big project goal, the music lessons have been the best investment we made for our kids.

☆ How begpackers became some of the world’s least popular tourists

James, a comedian, is one of the posters behind the Instagram page Chaotic Hong Kong Expats. But the age of social media has catapulted the activity into public consciousness with a wave of begpacking-shaming Instagram accounts and Facebook pages. “Hong Kong is a very expensive place to live and the average (monthly) wage is 15,000 Hong Kong dollars ($1,915). Viral social media photos of begpackers in places like Malaysia, Indonesia and Hong Kong have been appearing on social media in recent months, re-igniting debate over the issue. “I think it kind of represents the growing arena of location-independent tourists blurring boundaries between leisure and work,” says Bernstein.

☆ There wasn’t a single bank robbery in Denmark last year

London CNN —The number of bank robberies in Denmark fell to zero last year, as beefed-up security and reduced use of cash in the Nordic country make holdups less lucrative. In 2021, Denmark had just one bank robbery, according to data from Finance Denmark, an industry group for lenders. Increased camera surveillance, improved alarm systems and stronger cooperation with the police have helped to bring the number down, according to Michael Busk-Jepsen, director of digitalization at Finance Denmark. Of around 800 bank branches in Denmark, only about 20 still have staff handling deposits and withdrawals, Busk-Jepsen told CNN. Cash withdrawals have fallen by about 75% over the last six years, Bloomberg reported, citing central bank data.
