[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Family of 5 (but often bring our ap so 6), hhi 900-1.2m, we spend most weekends at our second home in winter to ski, and a lot of the summer there as well. We also take 3-4 other vacations in normal times, plus 1-2 trips to see family. I think we probably spend @$50-100k/year on travel depending on the year. That’s not for first class and 5* hotels, that is just what it costs. We usually do europe at least once a year (haven’t been since 2019) and often rent a house and just stay for 3-4 weeks, doing day trips. Hoping we can resume that this summer especially since working remotely is accepted as a norm now. Big expensive trips in the past was @$25k for taking extended family to Disney for Christmas week, Hawaii for 9 days in Feb (rented a house with pool in one place, stayed in a resort just a couple of nights), dh and I try to take one nice trip a year just us. Jade Mountain was probably our fanciest, we’ve also done long weekends in various places in the US and Europe. [/quote]

Good grief.
Sounds like you spend most of your income. 
Second home, $125K annual travel. Even 1.2M won't stretch that far. 
Our income is similar, and we don't do half what you do. And we don't own a second home. We're frugal I guess, but college and retirement funds are paid up. That's just us. We're not materialistic, and we don't care about staying in fancy hotels/resorts. Just do stuff we enjoy like museums, galleries, theater, dance, music events in large cities, outdoor events, hiking (no camping I hate camping) in beautiful places. We don't travel to Europe often. I guess we're homebodies. [/quote]
