[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]18K for three vacations a year?  Cry me a river.  
No one is "scraping by" with that budget. [/quote]

That is fairly modest with 500 K HHI, most people in that range who I know spend more (we spend more with ~300 K HHI). 
Their problem is not vacation - they reportedly spend same on charity (hard to believe, for lawyers especially).
Their main problem is a 1.5 M house with corresponding mortgage and prop. taxes, apparently bought with little down.[/quote]

We grossed $532,000 in 2016.  We spent $5,000 on vacations.  And we have no mortgage.[/quote]

Then you are not very smart. I wouldn't want a sad life like that.
I LOVE vacations.
$5000 won't even cover one nice vacation, well  barely.[/quote]

NP.  I like vacations too, and I spend a lot more than $5k per year on them.  But, different people enjoy different things.  That's okay.  You sound like a jerk for insulting someone just because they like different things than you do.  Just because this person doesn't prioritize vacations doesn't make them stupid or sad.  [/quote]
