[quote=Anonymous]HHI of $110k or so, so not hurting, but definitely not raking it in. We typically spend about $10k/year on vacations (family of 6).

This year, I'm trying to curb my spending habits because I sometimes make unwise financial sacrifices to make vacations happen. So, my questions are:

-How often do you vacation within a year? 
-What is your vacation budget?

I'd planned a spring break trip that I'm now cancelling because it's just not a good financial move (and huge step for me). Planning two wee-long trips in the summer (combined cost of approx $4k). I'd also like to do a cruise in December (approx $6k cost). In addition, next year (summer?), I want to take the kids on a California trip (approx $10k cost and that doesn't even include doing any other trips in 2014).

Just trying to get a handle on how often I should plan "big" trips (costs exceeding $5k). Wondering if I should strike the cruise and save that money for the California trip and just do something more low-key (weekend in New York).

Yeah...not really sure what I'm asking here. Just wanted to see what other folks were doing, vacation-wise. [/quote]
