DH and I are both trust fund babies. On top of that, I'm the only grandchild on both sides of my family. On top of that, my parents are divorced. On top of that my father feels a lot of guilt for how he handled his relationship with me during the divorce so threw money at that problem - I got ridiculously high child support through college AND grad school (both of which were paid for by trusts). I used that money to invest in real estate and then sold some at a profit.

I flew coach once, to see what it was like. But yes, we travel a lot (it'll be less once our kids are in school), we will buy clothing at full price, we take the nanny on vacation, etc.

That being said, DH and I both work. Real jobs with benefits - not like, managing our portfolios or like that Katie woman on RH of Potomac. That said, we shop at Costco, we totally have a hand-me-down network going with some close friends who also have daughters, etc. [/quote]

If I had money I would totally fly 1st class or business.  But are the $1000/night resorts really worth it?  [/quote]

Yes, they are totally worth it. It's not even that hard to get there. There's a Marriott on Singer Island that we like that's $700/night. Add tax,fees, etc and you are pretty close to $1000. That's not worth it, but a place like Las Ventanas. So so worth the $2000 a night price tag. I don't buy any clothes for myself full price, and I buy my kid's clothes at Old Navy, but the service at expensive resorts is nothing short of amazing. They bring you Popsicles by the pool, rub your feet, clean your sunglasses, put suntan lotion on your back, provide preloaded iPads for movies or books, clean your room 2x a day, fill your tub with flowers and have aromatherapy menus for turn down. Your room will be filled with candles when you get back from dinner. They will unpack and iron all your clothes when you get there. Amazing and so worth it. [/quote]
