[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have seen vacations mentioned several times on this thread.  I'm genuinely curious:  What constitutes an "average vacation?"  How would you describe a fancy/luxurious vacation?[/quote]

At my kids' school, they have winter and spring breaks that are at least 2 weeks long to allow families to travel to Europe and other faraway places.  A few families have yachts so they "need" the extra sailing time.  Others have vacation homes or rentals in places like Jackson Hole, WY so they can spend the break skiing.  I could go on and on but going to Florida or Disney World is pedestrian for these families.[/quote]

So weird and tacky. We have family in Europe. We go there. We go to Disney too and I won't stay anywhere except a deluxe resort. We make a bit under 250k. We have massive credit card debt, student loan debt. We lease cars. (Not fancy ones, but ones that are fun to drive.) We are way underfunded for retirement. We haven't saved a dime for college. But you know what? Life is random, cruel and short. And we enjoy it. So do our kids.

I went to school with a lot of rich kids. Like the Cosby's. It's no bed of roses. Who the hell would even want that kind of massive disconnect from reality for their children? [/quote]
