[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I look at my friends on Facebook and some of them seem to be constantly on vacation. Every year they might take three trips away. My cousin sends pictures of her family in California, the Caribbean, Florida, always with a beautiful scene in the background.
We might do that every other year or so. 
Our HHI is over 400k, but between saving for college and paying the mortgage of about 4k a month, we feel that we just aren't secure enough to take fancy trips. Sadly, the last trip, the most expensive we've done, was a weather flop! Also, I have flight anxiety, so there is some reluctance on my part. But logistically and financially, we don't feel set enough to do that. 
We out earn these people that I am comparing myself to, maybe they are good at getting deals?[/quote]

They'll never post the statement from the kids student loans on Facebook.  It all evens out in the end.  Keep saving and doing right by your kids.  There are others like you out there - myself included. I can't post my fully funded 529 account on Facebook, but it's better than these 'look at me' social media postings.  I know SO MANY people that have all the right things like houses, cars, vacations and when college comes up you get this gruff 'they'll need to take loans so they have skin in the game'. [/quote]
