[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have similar numbers to you.  I would do $500 per kid in the 529 not $500 total.  You can definitely take a vacation but I eould cap it at $5K max.  If car prices weren't sky high I'd say replace the old car too but if you can I'd try to hold off until the chip situation evens out hopefully in a year or so and prices come down a bit.[/quote]

Where can a family of 4 go for 5k?  Honest question!!! Can't get a beach house in the OBX easily for under 5k (leaving money for food, beach chairs, etc).  Certainly can't fly anywhere and still have money leftover for lodging.  [/quote]

We are renting a 3 bedroom condo in Sandbridge, VA (just below VA beach, great place for little kids...I'd probably be closer to the boardwalk with older kids) and our condo rental for the week is $2K.  It's not directly on the beach but it's one row in so the beach is a 5 min walk.  I think the unit comes with beach chairs so no need to rent them.  This trip is well under $5K.

We are also going to Orlando FL and the flight is $200 each ($800 total).  The hotel/villa we stay at is $1500 for the week and the car rental is $500 for the week.  We only do Disney once because it is so hot and crowded that's all I can stand but the hotel we stay at has a few pools and a pirate ship the kids love.  We don't go out to eat for every meal just because it's so much food when you eat out and I wouldn't want to eat out all the time like that so it's not crazy expensive.  This trip is probably closer to $5K.[/quote]
