[quote=Anonymous]Define lower to middle class, OP. HHI under $100k? Something else?

FWIW, I grew up in the DC metro area. Dad had a white collar job and mom was a SAHM. We lived in a nice house in the burbs and went to catholic school. All family vacations were to DE beaches (oceanfront condos/houses for a week) or places like Williamsburg, Hershey/Lancaster, nearby mountains, etc. I didn’t go on a plane until I was an adult and paid for my own vacations. My parents didn’t prioritize travel, but they sent us to good schools and covered college and grad school. All this to say: nothing super fancy in terms of vacations.

I know people who live paycheck to paycheck yet somehow manage to swing trips to Disney, the Caribbean, Europe, etc.

I similarly know people who are legit rich who hate to travel. They have amazing houses, cars, clothes, etc. and could go anywhere but hate the hassle and prefer to stay home. By contrast, I’m constantly researching travel and hunting for deals. It’s amazing the deals you can find if you have the flexibility to travel during the school year or at the last minute, particularly if you are willing to fly with connections for quick trips.
