Most expensive vacation you’ve ever taken?

[Anonymous]

Our first vacation to Northern Pakistan felt very expensive and luxurious even though we have had more expensive vacations. Difference between dollar and rupee and availability of affordable services made it feel lavish compared to Europe.

Such a classic DCUM pissing contest. You people crack me up.

But why does it make me sad? I'm all for travel, but this level of spending just seems unnecessary and wasteful.

That's always the case when you vacation in impoverished places. Nicaragua is the same. You're incredibly wealthy compared to most there so you get treated like it.

Huh? I’ve been to Nicaragua many times and I’m quite wealthy and no.

So are big houses, fancy cars and private schools in many instances

People are simply sharing their experiences, why is it a pissing contest to you? Don't like it? Keep on scrolling!

I just posted. Its not about "money you make". Its your net worth.
Our NW is around $35M. We spend about $100-150k on travel annually for a family of 5 (usually 2 long trips: 1 spring or early summer and 1 winter break). We also have 3 homes.

Hahahaha are you getting a boner while you write this?

As someone who traveled a lot I don't like fancy vacations that much. What I did really enjoy was business trips to foreign countries by myself where I worked locals, went to dinner them and drinks and really got to know the people. Not like when I fly with my Family to Beaches Turks and Caicos and not even leave the resort.

As such outside of our normal day to day existence, EVERYTHING is wasteful. You can't take it with you.

Oh stop. No they’re not. Not when they feel compelled to mention their net worth and that “we also own three houses.” It’s pathetic.

That's your opinion. I'd rather travel than have a BMW, live in a 1.5 mil house, or have expensive bags and jewelry. To each their own.

We spent six figures on a Safari over a decade ago.

+1. Travel and experiences are high priorities for us. Material things not as much. You would be surprised of our NW if you saw our home or car. The travel and multiple trips is what gives it away that we have some money.
