[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]there is no way our $160k HHI would accommodate four family trips to CA each year. We average one trip out there per year and my parents come here at least twice. I would love for it to be more often, but I'm realistic.

Priorities poster here. But if you made $165k, you could accommodate four family trips a year, right, because it's $5k more a year of income and $5k more a year of expenses, right? And if you had chosen a house that cost you $5k less per year, you could afford to spend that $5k on travel. We each choose how to allocate our money, and you are choosing an allocation that doesn't make that travel easy--but it's still your choice.

Just to be pedantic, a person earning $160k who get a $5,000 raise only nets $3500, or slightly less if they fall under AMT.[/quote]\

My apologies. Then that $3500, or slightly less, could buy them an additional 3.5 trips, or slightly fewer. Added to the 1 trip in the budget already, that's still 4.5 trips. Or slightly fewer.[/quote]

Dang it, I forgot to calculate the airline miles they'll get toward a free trip. Pedant, forgive me.[/quote]
