[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are people just trolling and making up these numbers ?

Unbelievable. [/quote]

I assume a lot of those people have generational wealth and are used to those kinds of vacations. I am wealthy now but grew up with a teacher mom, so I am used to living a middle class lifestyle. My husband also grew up middle class and is in tech and makes low 7 figures. We've never spent 50-60k on a vacation, though we could. I don't even think I've spent over 12k, and I've had some nice vacations. I'm just not comfortable spending that much, to me it is ridiculously over the top. I'd rather invest more or spend on something I use everyday. [/quote]
We both grew up in strictly middle class families in third world countries, so no generational wealth here. We came to the US to study and worked our way into well-paying careers and had a bit of luck with the stock market. Beyond a point after saving well and making sure our kids are taken care of we can’t take anything with us. We would rather create memories with the kids and grandkids. I would always look at National Geographic magazines with awe when I was a kid and I can finally visit the places I thought I’d only be able to dream of.[/quote]
