[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a nurse, so very much true middle class. I live in a VHCOL city. I take 2-3 int’l trips a year by keeping them to a week or less, buying very cheap airfare and going off season/ shoulder season. Once there, I stay in the cheapest hotel I can find that is safe.

Of note, i literally never, ever order DoorDash.  Anyone who has ever paid $29 all-in for a single hamburger is not allowed to whine about the costs associated with taking a trip— you are pissing away your money

I don’t pay the premium for Instacart. I don’t have regularly scheduled housecleaners. I go out to eat with friends sparingly, not just because it’s 7 pm and I don’t feel like cooking.

Oh ! [b]And I don’t have a $800-$1000 monthly car pay like a few of my coworkers  who wanted the brand new bronco instead of the 18 month old used Corolla.[/b] [/quote]

Sometimes I wonder if it’s often the car payments. If a family has two car payments, there’s your international travel. Unless you’re wealthy enough that it doesn’t matter. [/quote]
