[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP we are going on vacation later this year with our 21 and 23 yos.

I don't know if you should spend the money, but you shouldn't believe that the opportunities for vacation are coming to an end. [/quote]

If you still offer to pay for the vacation (or majority of it), most 20 somethings will happily join for a family vacay[/quote]

It’s not the same when they’re adults in their 20s, though. I am shocked how many people ITT refuse to acknowledge that obvious reality.[/quote]

In many ways it's much more enjoyable.  No cranky teens, kids are adults and more aware of the world (and not as self centered).  It's different, and I consider it more enjoyable now as adults.  [/quote]

Way more enjoyable in college and post-college than in HS.

We have gone on vacations with some of our parents in our 40s/50s (some they paid, others we paid) and our kids grew up seeing that, so I'm not sure why they would feel it would stop. Lots of friends in similar position. [/quote]

Spoken like a selfish parent who didn’t actually like their kids, which is why you chose to hoard money instead of take them on trips until they were old enough not to annoy you.

Is this the type of parent OP wants to take advice from?[/quote]
