[quote=Anonymous]I know like this is not the place to ask but I feel like I'm struggling a bit mentally with the cost of vacationing.

I tend to be extremely frugal on travel and its worked out but I think my husband is over staying in places that require work. For instance we did a lake trip last summer and it was great but it was a 'camp' and so it was a house but the bathroom was small, the bedroom didn't have any AC, it was rustic. And I think he was a bit, 'this is too rustic'. I think he feels like I still plan travel like it was just the two of us 10 years ago making way less money. And that we can afford to like, have AC at the lake in the summer, but the jump seems like its to 3k a week and that seems so much to me!

We have an absolutely great HHI (~250k) but I also just really balk at spending more than like $1300 a week on accommodations (and I mean for skiing or lake trips on the eastern seaboard, forget flying) but what you can get for that price is pretty weak these days. I kind of feel like I need to ease up a bit?

But I'm also like, what is the amount that a frugal but not extravagant person would expect to spend on a week long vacation for a family of five? I don't want to be so cheap that family vacations are remembered as like, miserable slogs but also don't want to spend irresponsibly.[/quote]
