[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Going to a new place every year (or multiple new places) screams UMC, upwardly mobile, sorta striver-y to me. Truly middle class don't have the time or money to do that, but the true wealthy people I know don't seem to take to that style of travel at all. They seem to have their handful of places they like to go to over and over again. I.e., the typical rotation would be their beach house somewhere on the East Coast for summer, a skiing location out west or in Europe in the winter, somewhere in the Caribbean in winter/spring. Maaybe another somewhat obscure place in Europe that they really like, maybe a new destination every once in a great while, but mostly it's all about repetition. But I think PP nailed it when they said they won't go to places where thye have to interact extensively with people outside of their social class. Which is kind of funny because to me that's just like a gussied up version of the middle class family from the Midwest who spends a week within the walls of an all inclusive resort in Punta Cana (no judgment).

Asian American here. I like to travel internationally and domestically and do not always like to go to the same places in the US. We have many friends and colleagues who own beach houses who invite us. We have considered buying one but I don’t want to go to the same beach over and over again. While my kids liked the beach when they were younger, they don’t love it anymore. [/quote]
