[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I love about travel is that it’s a relatively strong signal for who actually has $ and who is overstretching. Yes there’s people with a lot of $$ who don’t like to travel but for your average family in a $2-3M close-in McMansion who isn’t traveling at least 1-2x / year, it’s likely because they’re overstretched.

We spend a ton on travel but don’t tell anyone where we stay or how we’re getting there and we post zero pictures publicly. Once we have kids we’ll dial it down for a while for more middle-class type vacations until we’re relatively confident we’ve raised good kids and they aren’t spoiled sh*ts. [/quote]

I find your attitude a little bizarre. People have different priorities. If they want their McMansion and can’t afford to travel, so be it. Other posters have said they live in modest houses and curb other expenses so they can afford to travel. C’est la vie.[/quote]
We started with a modest house and didn't travel much when the kids were young. Now we rent out that house, which pays the mortgage on our larger house (the rental market is pretty insane these days). And now we have the means to travel.[/quote]
