[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you make mid to high 7 figures, say anywhere from 4 to 9 million hhi, what is your lifestyle like? Do you have staff? Huge luxury home? Kids in private school? What are your holidays like? How much do you save/invest each year? What do you do for work? The reason I ask is because my business is taking off and I should be entering that range of income by this year or next year. [/quote]

We have a wealth manager and tax planner (one stop advisory shop) and just hand it off and are given an allowance that we spend entirely.  There comes a point in time where managing money becomes a job in and of its self.  Our "allowance" is 20K/mo.  The rest is invested/tax optimized.

Staff? No. we have weekly housecleaners and landscapers since we have ZERO desire to do yard work
Home is 3000sq feet and well designed, quality finishes and very comfortable, along with a large private yard that is professionally landscaped.
One kid in UVA and one kid in public school with his frinds he has had since he was in elementary school (have not moved since 2010)
Hate traveling for Christmas-everywhere is too crowded. We do one 2 week international vacation each august.  College kid plays an NCAA sport and HS kid plays a travel sport. Our "vacations" are often in shitty towns standing on a shitty field, staying in a Hilton Garden Inn.  Or they are in different college towns that can actually be a lot of fun!  For work DH works at a IT company as an executive and I work PT in healthcare.[/quote]

I believed this but not the Christmas thing. It's true that the airports are crowded, and wherever you go will be full. But there are a zillion secluded lovely places to go. [/quote]

with two very active sons, one age 19 and the other 16, staying somewhere secluded is not on the Christmas bingo card. They like to do things that other young men like doing and that brings us out iof seclusion and  into gen pop. The airport is the least of my concerns. a busy airport doesn’t bother me. [b]However being in a traffic jam while on a safari does
bother me[/b]. [/quote]

No idea what this means unless you’re referring to a budget East Africa safari but try a luxury reserve or conservancy next time. Sightings are capped to 2 vehicles and we rarely see others while driving around. It’s extremely secluded regardless if we’re there during peak or not (which is totally different from Christmas time BTW). [/quote]

BTDT, it’s like a gigantic zoo.

Ol Pejeta, Maasai Mara and Serengeti National Park.

You do realize there’s a difference between accommodations and then the national Parks, no? [/quote]

You do realize there’s luxury private reserves and concessions within the parks that are leased to operators and limited to a number of guests at any time, right? It’s called exclusive use traversing rights. Look it up. Singita is well known for having these.

Or, just go to Sabi Sands or the Okavango Delta or similar. All private concessions with no crowds that operate as exclusive use as well.

I’m confused how you don’t know this?? [/quote]
