[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We make North of 200k per year and we always stay at 2.5/ 3 star hotels on vacations.  A lot of times we book on discount websites like Hotwire.  We don't eat at fancy places either.  We do spend lots of money on day activities.  Many times we find highly educated people staying at the same budget hotels Is  there a relationship between the amount people spend on hotels and income?  Where do you fall and what is your income?[/quote]

You forgot to count networth into your equation.  Someone the networth of 3 mil, for example, may feel a lot more comfortable spending on a more expensive hotel than someone with the networth of 500K, given the HHI is the same. [/quote]
Net worth is 2M.  [/quote]

Is your HHI composed mainly of passive income from your networth, e.g. do you actually have a way to make more or potential to not dig into your investments?  This also matters, your income is not low, but with this networth I am guessing, you only have one working spouse or you scaled way back, maybe have a new business and not feeling as financially secure?  Your choices of hotels point to the fact that you are not secure in your wealth, because, most people with much lower savings, but, who are UMC, would not consider staying at 2.5 star places, which are essentially motels.  I'd say, someone in your situation, with your networth and income and, who is feeling financially secure, would stay probably at 4 star hotels, or vacation rentals. [/quote]
