[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not too long ago, we were sitting around the table with our kids and their SOs.  My kids could not stop talking about how great their life was growing up.  Trips were a huge part of it.  (so were birthday cakes - who knew?).  We did big trips and tons of overnight beach and camping trips locally.  I'm really cheap so we never did fancy hotels and we drove to a lot of places.  We just did a lot on a little money.

Anyway, based on listening to our kids and the occasional walk down memory lane, I don't regret a single cent I spent on our trips and I don't regret a single minute I spent on planning them.  I will say that my kids are all very close and love to be together so we never had any conflict or difficulty traveling together.  [/quote]

But you just proved you don't have to spend much.  It's more about the memories of doing stuff together and just "being a family and having fun".  It's not about where you go or spending more than you can afford. [/quote]

What post did you read? She quite literally was talking about taking trips (NOT “just being a family and having fun”).

And no one has implied, not even OP, that people should take trips they can’t actually afford.[/quote]
