Free Birthday Stuff - I Got $246.70 in Birthday Freebies without Buying Anything!
I wanted to see how many birthday freebies I could get, so Steven and I woke up at 7 am and hit the road! Aside from way too much free birthday food and the obvious Starbucks birthday deal, I scored a ton of legit birthday rewards at shopping destinations like Victoria’s Secret, Ulta, and even IKEA, too.
Altogether, I managed to rack up $246.70 in free birthday stuff without needing to spend any of my own money!

Hi, really good video. Happy Birthday! I am UK based investor and i want your thoughts on a US Total Stock market accumulation fund v US total Stock Market Income fund. They both are the say fund, but one provides a 1% dividend per year. My question is whether i would be better investing in total stock market accumulation fund but instead deduct 1% per year?

Thank you! We worked way too long on this one, haha. To tell you the truth, we don't know very much about specific investment funds outside of the United States, so we wouldn't want to give any direct advice here. However, here are a few things to consider: Graph the "total return" performance of both, and see if they are identical. They probably are if they have the same underlying investments. If that is the case, you might want to research the tax implications of one fund versus the other. In the US, dividend distributions are taxable events. Most likely, there is very little material difference, but this is just a guess. This blog post may help to some limited extent: www.tripofalifestyle.com/money/how-to-read-stock-charts/
is the victoria secret one only for card holders?

Nope! It's free for anyone, but you do need to sign up for a (free) Victoria's Secret account online and register your birthday.
Happy late bday

Oh wow 😮 FYI Papa Murphy's does a free pizza 🍕 on your birthday, but $16 max value. This year Starbucks sent only a 50% off coupon on my birthday which is today 12/7.

RIP Bed, Bath & Beyond! We've been continually updating this list in the blog post version btw: www.tripofalifestyle.com/money/birthday-freebies/
I am a daddy's girl and ever sense my dad passed away in 2019 the day before my birthday. I really don't look forward to my birthdays anymore. I stay depressed and cry for days as my birthday begins to approach. I hope someday things will get at least a little better. I am wanting to make my dreams of becoming a country singer come true. My dad had high hopes for me and I miss him so very much. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about him. It has been very tough on me but the always say what doesn't kill only makes you stronger so why do I feel like I am always falling apart. I am hopping these free gifts may cheer me up a little.
