[quote=Anonymous]00:44. True. We took the same number of vacations when we made a lot less too though, and we weren't being subsidized at all at the time (we used to save for college, but circumstances changed). The only real difference was that we were then taking only 1 flight a year, and now we are generally taking 2 or 3. The flight costs are often offset by very inexpensive lodging/eating costs over a longer stay. So, we may pay $2,000 to get somewhere, but then we will stay for 2.5 weeks at hotels that cost $20/night and eat street food that costs about the same. In the end, our accounts are pretty close to what we would have spent had we stayed in our higher cost of living area and bought groceries and gone out a night or two for dinner. We also camp a lot - that was an investment of about $1,500 for equipment that has lasted 20+ years (tent is under lifetime warranty), and then we spend almost nothing to travel. [/quote]
