What We Do for a Living
Both my husband and I work regular full-time M-F, 8-5 desk jobs. I work in HR as a recruiter and my husband works in sales.

From getting $100 round trip flights to Denver for our family ski trip to saving $600 over the next airline for our flights to Costa Rica Spirit always holds us down. Plus we never pay for bags and save $168over online prices just buying our flights at the airport. Check out my site to learn more how we maximize our savings!
