[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have wondered this too. I also grew up in an affluent bubble. Maybe you went on a school trip to Italy in high school or a service trip to Central America, and maybe skiing to Vail once in a while, but no one went on these trips 3-4x a year.

We are comfortable but I do wonder how people afford this?[/quote]

Op here. Yes exactly what I’m talking about!

The rich apple I knew were much more likely to own a second home at the beach then take international vacations. Maybe one or two bucket list type trips right after retirement. But the people I know take 4-5 bucket list type trips a year! How do they afford that??[/quote]

Where do they get the time? I never got 6-8 weeks of vacation. I maxed at 4 and always used 2 visiting family. [/quote]

Nowadays people can work while on trips. Back in the day I think the wife and kids went to the vacation house with the dad joining on the wknd. Generally speaking with stereotypes of course.

But also interesting point raised earlier about two high-power career couples these days, which was less the case back then with a stay at home mom.[/quote]

People work remotely while on international vacations? Do many employers allow that?[/quote]

Mine does. [/quote]
