Before I want to have children with my beautiful wife I would like to travel the world for up to 1 whole year, unfortunately we have no money to do this. But it must be done.
My question is simple - what, realistically, is the best way to fund this extravagance of ours? We have a modest mortgage and are both under 30. I don't want to work my way around the world by working in bars, etc, like the anzacs do (no disrespect or anything, just doesn't suit me or my idea of enjoyment at all).
I would like to keep the house (but am not keen on renting it out, I know we are crazy and a bit foolish, but hey) and so clearly we would need several, ok, tens of thousands to do this, which is not great, but hey, we need to live first before having children. Savings are never going to be enough before the wife wants the kids and will probably always be minimal : (
So, what are my options? (bank raids, lottery wins, etc, funny, but probably not advisable!). Is a remortgage the best longterm low cost deal? We've got only a sketchy idea of what we want to do and where we want to go, but know that realistically its going to cost a fortune. Anyone else done this before?!!
TIA
