Thursday is back and this time with a vengeance! Well not really, but it sounded good and in today’s installment of Dollars & Sense we actually have a few things that may be more fun than any other day – because the only thing missing from today is a budget!
Today, we figure since the weather has been a little up and down recently, why not go some place where it’s guaranteed to be beautiful. If you have never been to the Maldives, which is a chain of Islands located in the Indian Ocean, then this may make you want to visit.
Dine At The Ithaa Undersea Restauraunt:
Ithaa Undersea Restuarant is the world’s first all-glass undersea restaurant. Located on Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, this unique undersea restaurant is 16 feet below sea level.
You can take in the 180° views of reef and marine life, while sipping champagne cocktails and dining on Maldivian-Western fusion cuisine. Since the restauraunt is located in such a tropical environment, the menu never stays the same and, but be prepared to spend anywhere from $150-300 on you dinner. A dining experience this memorable doesn’t come cheap.

Courses such as naturalist and shark specialist courses have proved most popular due to the growing interest in the marine environment. Most resorts would have access to a protected reef on the leeward side of the island that enables them to dive even during times of rough seas and strong winds.

Financial Tip Of The Day
Save Your Packets
Every time you get fast food, save the unused packets of ketchup, duck sauce, mustard etc. We’re not saying that you should do this so that you won’t have to buy these condiments anymore, but it can save you in a jam. What’s worse than making a pack of hot dogs before the big game and you just realized that you don’t have any ketchup for you or your guest. It’s a rarity but you never know. Also, it may not save you a ton of money, but it could help you out when it’s not time to go grocery shopping just yet.
