[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Status signaling. It’s a way to dance around how rich you are and how decadent and exciting your life is. Are you doing well, rich, or rich rich and spending money like water.[/quote]

Funny. When I hear people are going on trips instead of seeing cousins or grandparents or family I think they are oddly selfish. We have more money and access to trips than most and we choose to spend the holidays with extended family. Anyone that thinks we could not travel to Europe or to Caribbean is silly. We have no interest. [/quote]

Same here. It’s just a given we would travel to see cousins and grandparents and aunts and uncles. I feel sorry for kids that don’t have those networks because instead their parents want to go party with their friends elsewhere. [/quote]

Many of these families meet extended family at these destinations.  What makes you jump to “feeling sorry for kids”?  We travel a lot and my kids have strong family connections.  Our families on both sides are also wealthy.[/quote]
