[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound terribly sheltered, OP. Grow up. [/quote]

And entitled. Even relatively recently, people I grew up around, middle-class/UMC, some wealthy, vacationed nearby. I grew up in the Boston area in the 1970s/80s, and everyone went to the Cape or Maine for a week to a month. The Vineyard for the summer if they were wealthier. That was 85%+. We traveled internationally because my parents' came from another country, and we visited grandparents every other summer. We were the exception.[/quote]

+1  I grew up in an affluent LA suburb and it was very unusual for a classmate to take a vacation outside the US.  My parents never took us outside the US, my first trip abroad was study abroad in college.

fyi,  about 40% of American adults have a passport and only about a quarter have traveled outside the US in the past 3 years.  [/quote]

What point are you trying to make?[/quote]
That Op is mind bogglingly ignorant and sheltered. [/quote]

It's weird not to have a passport. I'm not super rich, just a nurse. I can work ONE day to pay what passports for my family of four costs. ONE day every five years!!
If people are that cheap or weird, I feel bad for them. 
Stay in school people![/quote]

You make $520/day, and you don't think you're particularly rich??? That's  $130K[/quote]
