[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We all know the wealth gap is widening and while some of DCUM has more extra cash than ever before, some of us are making the same salary stretch further. We are a duel gvt salary household and while we live a good life, we also don't live like we did 7 years ago either. One thing that we really miss is ski trips. It use to be a somewhat modest activity (or ways to make it more such) and we also had less kids so we were able to go a few times a year. A ski trip that use to cost us 3/4k now cost 7k (easily) and it just isn't justifiable anymore. Any similar experience or things you may miss? This is meant to be lighthearted with some focus on things that have really gotten expensive or not worth it, not meant to turn into anything else! [/quote]

Need more info on what you're spending your money on and what you are doing to increase your passive income. Where are you skiing that it costs $7K? We ski every year out west and I have never spent that much (with 2 kiddos). My spouse and I own our own gear and we rent skis for the kids away from the resort (a lot cheaper). If you ski at the big resorts, you're going to pay a lot unless you have access to discounted passes. "Locals" ski areas are much cheaper. We choose lodging that is not right next to the slopes. We cook many of our own meals.[/quote]
