[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn’t the season of life for travel.  Adults tend to have more vacation time and money as they get older, and your kids will be much better travelers in a couple of years.[/quote]

Chiming in with the same sentiment: right now, accept that you’re in a different season of life. 
I’m in the same boat. I can’t beat myself up for not having a big enough budget or enough time off. I am grateful that I had a time for that pre-kids, when DH and I lived in Brussels and Cairo and took many side trips and explored.

Now I’m back to American amounts of PTO and have a kid in college and another in HS. But I’m not forgetting that it’s a priority—setting aside money and prioritizing my spending accordingly, and staying in shape so that when I do have time to adventure, I’ll be fit enough to do it.

There’s a woman at my office who is my inspiration. She retired at 60 then came back 2 days/wk. She can take unpaid time whenever she wants. She collects her pension and earns enough to fund her travel. Right now she’s in South Africa, in November she was in Spain, and she’s going to New Zealand next year.
Goals!
