Miles Over Money: The Family Road Trip Guide That Proves Great Vacations Don't Have to Be Expensive

By David Goldman

Some of the best family memories don't come from resorts or flights.
They come from open highways, shared snacks, unexpected stops, and long conversations that only happen on the road.

Yet for many families, travel feels expensive, stressful, and out of reach.

"Miles Over Money" was written to change that.

This book proves that unforgettable vacations don't require luxury budgets-just the right routes, realistic planning, and a beginner-friendly approach to family road trips. Designed specifically for parents who want budget travel with kids, this guide focuses on easy U.S. road trips, manageable driving days, and destinations that offer real value instead of tourist traps.

From gas-saving strategies to cheap family lodging, this book shows how ordinary families explore America using simple road trip planning, not complicated itineraries.

This isn't about rushing from place to place.
It's about seeing America slowly, spending less, and enjoying more.
