[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It isn’t a rational decision when you think about the per hour cost. But here is how I justify it:

1. It means that I get a lot more value out of the first day or two of vacation.
2. Health concerns- having had back and shoulder surgery I am not keen to spend 8 hours sitting up in an uncomfortable chair.
3. Opportunity cost. I have enough money nowadays to meet my needs, which other than this are relatively modest. So if I didn’t spend the money on this, it would probably just be adding to my kids’ inheritance. And having paid for their education, weddings and a small down payment on a house, I feel that I have done more than enough for them.[/quote]

The line that convinced my frugal DH, was “if you don’t fly first/business class, your kids will.”

Before everyone starts yelling about selfish boomers, we paid for our kids’ college and are paying for our grandchildrens’ college, have given them cars, rented ski houses etc etc etc. (and they’re still going to have very nice inheritances). [/quote]
