This is a personal question that will look different for everyone, their lifestyle, and values.  My family doesn’t earn quite as much as yours and we live in a lower COL area but using a COL calculator our similar income in the Northern VA area would be around 200k for our family of 4. We could easily rent a beach house for 3-4k for a week annually like a lot of families but that isn’t my style.  I love travel & adventure.  I value lots of different experiences so we take ultra low-budget tent camping vacations to trips in Europe. I do it all as affordably as I can so that our money goes farther.  Most of the time I can find nice lodging with good reviews.  We’ve done tent camping, camping cabins, state park cabins, motels, hotels, apartment rentals, house rentals, and family hostels (sooo much better than I expected).  Most of the time I’ve been able to easily find decent lodging at or under $1,500 a week though a couple of times its been more like 2k.  I do try to use some calculators to keep my spending reasonable but there’s no reason that you SHOULD spend x amount of money or your kids will have a horrible childhood.  It’s less about how much you actually spend and what you do.  [/quote]
