[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought most people we know likely think we have a much higher income than we do.

We live in a house we bought for $200k that is now worth nearly $1m. We eat out a lot and we go on a lot of trips and vacations.  A LOT. But we use points and deals all the time and I'm an excellent frugal travel shopper. We've had some amazing trips, including a two week trip to the SW for less than $2k incl air fare (family of four), regular trips to Europe and to Maine every summer. But our vacation budget so far this year has been less than $3k. If it comes up I'll share my travel tips, but sometimes I'm embarrassed how our travels may appear to others.

Our income is actually about $95k with a stay at home spouse.[/quote]
What is SW? [/quote]
So weird

I'll give you three guesses.[/quote][/quote]

You really don't know what SW is an abbreviation for? South West. In this case Arizona, Nevada and Colorado. Grand canyon and other national parks.[/quote]

I don't know anyone who abbreviates it this way when talking about vacation (and I wouldn't lump in Colorado into it, even though some travel guides might). Doesn't matter: 2k for 4 sounds about right if the goal is national parks and not spas. [/quote]

I'd be pressed to cover airfare and rental car on that budget for two weeks, not to mention food and accommodation and I'm cheap.[/quote]

Do you choose destination first?[/quote]
