| Are people seriously planning to drop thousands of dollars on luxury travel with all the shit going on right now? Unbelievable. |

| How is emulating you (sitting at home on the internet clutching fake pearls) going to help? Getting away at least gives some respite. |

| I can see why a multi year round the world cruise would be nice! Big ship, motor sailer, or yacht |

This. I need the distraction. Planning vacations/trips and going on them is a good distraction. |

| Worst case scenario, Musk and company completely crash the economy, tank the dollar, and all the money you're hoarding becomes worthless. Might as well YOLO while money still means something. |

Yes. I'm still in the process of planning our summer vacations. It's not "luxury" but when you have a family of 5 any trip is in the thousands.
Our financial and job situations have not changed at all. |

+1. We live well below our means and have ample savings in “normal” times. If the $hit really hits the fan I don’t think we’ll regret that last vacation. |

+1 covid and family health crises have really shaped my "take the vacation" perspective. |

| We just took a short but expensive vacation, we might not be able to for some time given that one or both of our jobs is currently at risk |

Tourism is an industry. If people stop traveling those industries suffer.
Plus, I was on a business trip and was one day off of flying into DCA at night. A stark reminder of the fragility of life. I’m going to go to the places I want to see with my family because no one is promised tomorrow. |

| Now more than ever. Time on vacation with the kids is very precious. I am not going to let that nazi piece of crap ruin it. |

| No reason not to travel. But if you go overseas, expect to be despised for being American by some. |

I travelled when I was poor, I travel a lot now that I have a bit more cash, and if we lose most of our income, I'll travel then too. It can be done at a lot of different budget points.
Maybe worry less about what other people are doing and more about what you are doing. |
