And don't even get me started on the thrift shopping.
Will this conflict lead to a prolonged war in the region?
Japan's secondhand scene is legendary, and your dollar, well, your yen, is going to stretch so much further than you think. I'd love to go in late March or early April to see the cherry blossoms.

Yes, that's peak season, but I have a plan for that. One way I can earn a little extra cash for the trip is by hosting my place on Airbnb while I'm out of town.
How will the current conflict affect oil prices and your wallet?
Hosting my home on Airbnb can help offset the cost of travel, making that dream vacation less of a dream and more of a reality.

Which assets typically increase in value during Middle Eastern conflicts?
While you're away, you could host your home on Airbnb.

I'm Nicole Lapin, the only financial expert you don't need a dictionary to understand. It's time for some money real. I want to talk about what's happening between the U.S., Israel, and Iran, because what's going on in the Middle East right now is going to hit your wallet hard. The U.S. and Israel launched coordinated strikes on Iran on Saturday, February 28th, and the operation killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who ruled Iran for the last three decades. His defense minister, the commander of the revolutionary Guard and dozens of other senior officials were also killed. Iran has since fired back with waves of missiles and drones targeting U.S. bases across the region and Israeli cities.
This is the biggest military event the Middle East has seen in a generation, and it has implications for the global economy that we need to know right now. But first, let's unwind the chain reaction that got us here. The U.S. and Iran have been locked in a standoff over Iran's nuclear program for decades now. The real modern flashpoint came in 2018 when President Trump pulled the U.S. out of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which had capped Iran's uranium enrichment at a low-grade civilian grade, which is under 4%.
