[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your HHI is $300k, then you can obviously afford multiple nice vacations a year. Here's a DCUM reality check: Our HHI is $150k. We drive old cars that were purchased used at two or three years old. Public school. House is in the mid-600s. We actually live frugally (no newspaper subscription, no organics, no manicures, etc) whereas I bet the OP doesn't. We go on beach vacations a handful of times each year (some local, some involving flights). We try to do long weekend trips at least a handful of times a year (mountains, lakes, cities). And we do a big trip (Disney, Caribbean, Europe) every 2-3 years. Honestly, people piss away money so easily. It's not that hard to live well within your means and afford to travel. [/quote] I think what was really glossed over here was the fact that you don't have newspaper subscriptions. That really helps out a lot. [/quote]
