On my personal quest to see history and travel as much as I can, I can’t help but be drawn to historic places. Having visited South Louisiana more than 5 times, here’s a list of plantations you can visit so you can immerse yourself in the history (the good and the bad) of the area. It is nice to imagine being a Southern Belle, but also realizing that the wealth of a few was built on the backs of many.  Most of these plantations are within the River Parishes except for Houmas House. The River Parishes are located around 40 minutes from the French Quarter and the New Orleans airport (more if there’s traffic).  Looking for more Louisiana Travel?

If you imagine what plantation houses may be, it’s easy to think of Oak Alley. If you’re a millennial like me, you would remember this house was used as a filming spot for the movie “Interview with the Vampire” starring Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, not the TV series.  Ever since I saw that movie, I knew I had to visit the plantation, and I finally had my chance. Even better, I got to stay in one of the historic cabins and got the iconic shot of Oak Alley without the crowds of people. And yes, anyone who can pay can stay in the historic or newly renovated cottages located on Oak Alley’s premises. It acts like a hotel where you can just pick the cottage you want, pay, and book. Since the restaurant is closed in the evening, you’ll get room service left on your cabin’s refrigerator (which you’ll get to pick before you check in).   Undoubtedly, this plantation is the most expensive out of the ones I’ve mentioned below, but if you only have the money to visit one plantation outside of the New Orleans area, make it Oak Alley.   Felicity Plantation: A Woman-Owned Plantation Address: 3535 LA-18, Vacherie, LA 70090  Entrance Fee: $24 per person Focuses

An index fund tracks a market index like the S&P 500 and charges minimal fees. The majority of actively managed funds, where a professional picks stocks, underperform their benchmark over a 10-year period after fees. You don’t need to pick winners. Own the whole market cheaply and stay in it. Source

Every taxpayer chooses each year between the standard deduction, a fixed IRS amount, and itemizing actual expenses like mortgage interest, state taxes, and charitable contributions. Itemize only if your deductible expenses exceed the standard deduction. Most people take the standard amount, but homeowners with big mortgage interest often come out ahead itemizing, so run both calculations. Source

Hiding debt, secret accounts, or concealed spending from your partner erodes trust in ways that outlast the financial damage. Practice full transparency: shared access to accounts, honest conversations about debt, and no hidden purchases. If you’re concealing something now, the discomfort of disclosure is always smaller than the cost of discovery. Source
