But first things first, let's start with the basics.

首先，讓我們從最基本的開始。

How to save money by putting your life on pause before heading overseas.

如何在出國前暫停生活，節省開支。

One of the easiest ways to save money while traveling is to pause your monthly subscriptions and memberships, such as streaming TV services or a gym membership.

旅行中最簡單的省錢方法之一就是暫停每月訂閱的節目和會員服務，如流媒體電視服務或健身房會員服務。

You can usually just call them and ask them to put it on pause for a month, and this is basically money right back in your pocket.

你通常可以打電話給他們，讓他們暫停一個月，這基本上就是把錢放回你的口袋。

Next, call the post office and ask them to hold your mail.

接下來，給郵局打電話，要求他們扣留您的郵件。

If you're subscribed to newspapers or magazines, ask them to pause your subscription.

如果您訂閱了報紙或雜誌，請要求他們暫停訂閱。

Even more important, call your bank and your credit card company and let them know the dates that you're going to be traveling overseas.

更重要的是，給您的銀行和信用卡公司打電話，讓他們知道您將出國旅行的日期。

If you don't, they might assume that your cards have been stolen or your accounts hacked, and they might freeze all your accounts, leaving you halfway around the world and unable to pay for your hotel room or even dinner.

如果您不這樣做，他們可能會認為您的銀行卡被盜或您的賬戶被黑客攻擊，他們可能會凍結您的所有賬戶，讓您在地球的另一端無法支付酒店房間甚至晚餐的費用。

This is a major inconvenience, but it's one that's easily avoided.

這是一大不便，但很容易避免。

Next, make sure your phone is ready to travel.

接下來，確保您的手機已為旅行做好準備。

Some companies offer plans that work globally, but if not, turn off your roaming and put your phone into airplane mode.

有些公司提供全球通用的計劃，如果沒有，請關閉漫遊功能並將手機設置為飛行模式。

It allows you to connect to Wi-Fi and to use Bluetooth, but doesn't roam or search for a signal and cost you precious data.

它允許您連接到 WLAN 和使用藍牙，但不會漫遊或搜索信號，也不會耗費您寶貴的數據。

And of course, you can always buy a cheap local SIM card when you arrive in your destination.

當然，您也可以在到達目的地後購買一張便宜的當地 SIM 卡。

Just make sure that your phone is unlocked before you leave the country.

只需確保您的手機在出國前已經解鎖。

You could also get a portable Wi-Fi device as well.

您還可以購買一個便攜式 Wi-Fi 設備。

And if you are a dog mom or dad or even a plant parent, ask your friends or neighbors to help you take care of your babies.

如果您是狗媽媽或狗爸爸，甚至是植物父母，請讓您的朋友或鄰居幫您照顧您的寶貝。

Have a friend come and house-sit or watch your dog, or have your neighbor come and water your plants.

請朋友來幫你看家或看狗，或者請鄰居來幫你澆花。

And if you have a real baby, that is a different video entirely.

如果你有一個真正的寶寶，那就完全是另一種視頻了。

Stow your vehicle somewhere safe where you know they won't get broken into.

將車輛停放在安全的地方，確保不會被撬開。

If it's not in the garage, at least cover your car with a cover or park it somewhere where it won't get pooped on by birds, ticketed, or towed.

如果不在車庫裡，至少也要給車蓋個蓋子，或者把車停在不會被鳥拉屎、開罰單或拖走的地方。

If you're going to be gone for a long time, definitely fill your tank full of gas to avoid oxidation and corrosion.

如果您要離開很長時間，一定要把油箱加滿，以避免氧化和腐蝕。

And if you have a motorcycle, look into battery tenders to keep the battery alive while you're out of town.

如果您有一輛摩托車，可以考慮使用電池保護器，以便在外出時保持電池的活力。

Next, cut down on your utility bills by turning off all major appliances.

其次，關閉所有主要電器，減少水電費支出。

You can put your water heater into vacation mode, or if you live in an older house, just make sure that the pilot light is completely off and that all of your fire alarms are on and working properly.

您可以將熱水器設置為休假模式，或者如果您住在老房子裡，只需確保引火燈完全熄滅，並確保所有火災報警器都已打開並正常工作。

Not only will this save you money, it's also going to lower the risk of fire or flooding while you're away.

這不僅能為您省錢，還能降低您外出時發生火災或水災的風險。

It's also smart to set your indoor lights on a timer so it looks like someone's home in the evenings.

將室內燈光設置為定時器也很聰明，這樣晚上看起來就像有人在家一樣。

Even better, ask a neighbor to park their car in your driveway so it appears that someone's home all the time.

更好的辦法是，請鄰居把車停在你的車道上，這樣就會顯得你家裡一直有人。

When it comes to home security, there are a couple of things that you can do.

說到家庭安全，您可以做幾件事。

At the very least, you should install a motion detecting light.

至少，你應該安裝一盞移動偵測燈。

That's going to stop people from snooping around your house under the cover of darkness.

這將阻止人們在黑暗的掩護下窺探你的房子。

I recently installed the Ring Home Alarm System in my house.

我最近在家裡安裝了 Ring 家庭報警系統。

It's essentially a next generation home security system that connects wirelessly and is controlled through an app in my phone.

它本質上是一個下一代家庭安全系統，可以無線連接，並通過我手機中的一個應用程序進行控制。

It includes video monitors so I can check in on my house even when I'm abroad, contact monitors to let me know when doors or windows have been opened, and the ability to turn the entire system on and off and control it through an app in my phone.

它包括視頻監控器，讓我即使在國外也能查看家裡的情況；聯繫監控器，讓我知道門窗何時被打開；通過手機中的一個應用程序就能開關和控制整個系統。

I really appreciated how easy it was to set up the Ring system.

我真的很感激環形系統的設置如此簡單。

Once I got the app downloaded on my phone, I could connect the various monitors and door systems wirelessly, just like how you connect a wireless pair of headphones to the app.

我在手機上下載了應用程序後，就可以無線連接各種監視器和門禁系統，就像把一副無線耳機連接到應用程序上一樣。

I also love that you can arm and disarm the entire system remotely.

我還喜歡可以遠程佈防和解除整個系統的功能。

For example, if Alex wants to come to my house, I'm not there.

例如，如果亞歷克斯想去我家，我不在。

I can unlock the system, allow him to come in, get what he needs, and I can re-lock it when he exits.

我可以解鎖系統，讓他進來拿他需要的東西，然後在他離開時重新上鎖。

I can even check the monitors to make sure he hasn't pulled the Goldilocks and gotten a little bit too comfortable in my house while I'm gone.

我甚至可以檢查監視器，確保我不在的時候，他沒有像金髮女郎一樣，在我的房子裡太舒服了。

Put down the ice cream and return it to the fridge immediately.

At least wash the spoon between bites, dude.

至少在兩口之間洗洗勺子吧，老兄。

Apart from home security, there are a couple of super important last minute steps before you can fly.

除了家庭安全之外，在飛行之前還有幾個超級重要的最後一分鐘步驟。

Eat, toss, or donate any food that's left over and take out the trash so it does not rot while you're gone.

吃掉、扔掉或捐出剩餘的食物，並倒掉垃圾，以免食物在您離開時腐爛。

There's nothing worse than coming home to a stinky house.

沒有什麼比回到家發現家裡臭氣熏天更糟糕的了。

I know last minute packing can be stressful, but if you can do it, we highly recommend taking the time to clean your house before you leave because nothing is worse than coming home to a mess when you are jet-lagged.

我知道在最後一刻收拾行李會讓人感到緊張，但如果您能做到的話，我們強烈建議您在出發前花點時間打掃一下屋子，因為沒有什麼比倒時差時回到家看到一片狼藉更糟糕的了。

You have to unpack and get ready for work on top of cleaning your house.

除了打掃房間，你還得整理行李，準備上班。

If you can clean it before you go and you can come home to clean sheets, you are going to be so much more comfortable and ready to assimilate back into the real world.

如果你能在出發前把床單打掃乾淨，回家時床單也是乾乾淨淨的，那麼你就會舒服得多，也更願意融入現實世界。

Last but not least, close and latch all of your windows, pull down the blinds, set your smart alarm, and you're ready to rock and roll.

最後但並非最不重要的一點是，關閉並鎖好所有窗戶，拉下百葉窗，設置好智能鬧鐘，然後就可以開始搖滾了。

Just don't forget to lock your front door.
