## Resource

Summer’s unofficial kickoff is here, but wallets are feeling the heat as gas and travel costs soar. Families are pivoting—choosing road trips over flights, cutting back on distance, and turning to free local spots like parks and libraries. Nearly 90% of travelers are hunting for savings, with some even canceling trips or sending kids to work to help cover expenses. Despite the pinch, the drive to create memories together remains strong—even if it means a little extra financial stretch. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
