[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Family of 5 here.
Our trip from this school year will be
- 1 week west to visit family; we get an Airbnb so we don’t have to cram in anyone house 
- 5 day Caribbean trip
- 1 week California over winter break
- 1 week Hawaii for spring break
- 2 weeks Europe over the summer

Plus 2 girls trips (4 days each) for me with friends (no kids) 
5 weeks vacation and I travel for 4 of them. 
Not including food and activities on trips, probably $35k at least; I don’t typically budget or total the cost; I just pay for each trip as we go.
HHI $650; travel is the thing we love, so we spend less on other things that don’t matter to me

Wow!  How do you make so much money but get so much leave![/quote]

DH makes a little more than that and never has to be in an office.  Really he just needs to be able to respond to calls/emails within 24hrs.  He makes his own schedule and maybe travels for work 2-3 times a year.   We pretty much travel whenever we want.  Know plenty of people in the same boat.[/quote]

I know only one person "in the same boat." He's a partner in a San Francisco law firm. Travels about 3 months a year.

What profession(s) OP? What part of the country? [/quote]

PP here, DH is a product rep, basically sales.   Live in the DC area during school year when not traveling.  SC beach in summer./holidays.[/quote]

Yeah sales never really has an “office” they either were visiting clients or working wherever on details of a deal.  But in some ways he is never on vacation because of a client needs him, he needs to be there?  But sales explains the high salary high flexibility. Just don’t miss your numbers, right?[/quote]
