[quote=Anonymous]I’m a big believer in gifting experiences over things to my kids. If we could afford it I would. Most people have a narrow window when they can travel with the constraints of a job, considering a spouse, the responsibility of kids. Plus, $1k is a lot of money for a birthday gift. But it wont buy a lavish trip. You clearly aren’t sending him to backpack through Europe for a month or see the Great Wall of China or snorkel the Barrier Reef on that. I just bought my kid’s plane ticket for a semester long study abroad on the other side of the world. $2600- for basic economy. The caveat: I would not spend the money for a spring break fraternity booze fest in Cancun. I accept my college kids are adults and I can’t stop this type of trip. But, I’m not paying for it either.
