[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have similar numbers to you.  I would do $500 per kid in the 529 not $500 total.  You can definitely take a vacation but I eould cap it at $5K max.  If car prices weren't sky high I'd say replace the old car too but if you can I'd try to hold off until the chip situation evens out hopefully in a year or so and prices come down a bit.[/quote]

Where can a family of 4 go for 5k?  Honest question!!! Can't get a beach house in the OBX easily for under 5k (leaving money for food, beach chairs, etc).  Certainly can't fly anywhere and still have money leftover for lodging.  [/quote]

easy.  drive to Hilton head and rent a 2BR Marriott timeshare for $3000 https://www.redweek.com/resort/P1023-marriotts-grande-ocean/timeshare-rentals
or fly to Marco Island FL (or other places in FL) and rent a villa for $3000 plus $1000 for airfare, $700 for rental car  https://www.redweek.com/resort/P5701-marriotts-crystal-shores/timeshare-rentals

And no food, no mini golf, no going out to dinner?

This is what I'm saying.  A 10k vacation isn't some massive luxury trip.  It's just a non east coast beach trip.  Which someone making 260k a year is certainly allowed to do once or twice.  [/quote]
