How much money would it take for you to quit your job, drop everything, and travel the world? Someone polled 2,000 Americans, and the average answer was about $288,000.
18% said they'd take off for less than $50,000, while 32% said they'd need at least half-a-million. And this last group either loves their job or hates traveling: 17% said no amount of money could get them to drop everything and leave.
The poll also asked what you'd do if you suddenly had a MILLION-DOLLAR travel budget you had to spend. Here are the top five answers . . .
1. Take your family and friends on a dream vacation.
2. Go on a REALLY long road trip.
3. Visit as many famous landmarks as you could.
4. Visit the Seven Wonders of the World, or other historical sites.
5. Start working on a "travel bucket list."

Travis Kelce went all-out on Valentine's Day by showering Taylor Swift with $100,000 worth of gifts.
He got her gold necklaces, diamond earrings, shoes, clothing, candy . . . and $1,000 worth of roses that supposedly last up to a YEAR. They're from a place called Venus et Fleur.
And he topped it off with a homemade card.
A source says, quote, "Travis also wanted to include something extra personal so he surprised Taylor with a handmade Valentine's Day card."

Is the secret to reheating pizza dunking it in WATER first? TikTok claims it works whether you're heating it up in the microwave or in an air fryer.
First of all...the woman has a heavy accent, so what does she know about pizza?
Would you try this?? The best way is in a pan on the stove or in the oven.
I find in the microwave if you do a minute at half power then 30sec to a minute instead of heating it full power the whole time is ok.
Of course some of you are going…what’s leftover pizza?!
