[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. The one that gets me is hotel prices. And we stay in budget-to-midlevel hotels, so I'm talking like, at best, and Embassy Suites. And not in NYC or something, but like in Nashville or Denver. You will wind up spending $250 a night for one room, and then you'll have to pay for valet parking on top of that, they won't come clean your room unless you ask, and the pool will be out of service when you get there.

It honestly makes me feel like there is no point in traveling. You wind up spending so much money on flight and accommodations that are barely serviceable, and then you're struggling to stay in budget before you even get to anything you do while there. It's ridiculous. Throw in all the service charges and cleaning fees and other random charges that are tacked onto everything and it's like, I should just stay home and get nice takeout or something. Spend the money I'd spend on a hotel on having someone clean my own house and some high threadcount sheets and call it a day.

We are trying to save to move out of the HCOL DMV and even that is hard. I don't know. The world is not built for middle class people.[/quote]

I agree, hotel prices are insane, flights too, and service is the worst ever, as if airlines and hotels were doing you a favor by letting you travel. [/quote]

Also agree. We make a higher salary than ever and yet travel has become too expensive. Going on a vacation to a National Park feels like a huge expense (airfare, rental car, hotel),  when it didn’t seem like a big deal a few years ago. [/quote]

Everyone in your peer group is making a higher salary and prices have risen accordingly. The vacays you want to take now, were they ones you could have afforded before the pandemic?[/quote]
