[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I (mid-to-late twenties) do this to some degree. We get good deals on airfare, and go to places like where expenses on arrival (lodging, food, etc.) are very low.  We are by no means backpackers, but spend modestly and somewhat like a local when we travel. We spent most of a month in Indonesia last year for something like $3,000 all in last year. We spent 10 days in Mexico earlier this year for a little under $1,000. We definitely are guilty of curating our Instagrams. Even though we aren't doing it all that deliberately, one would probably assume we spent more than we did looking through posts.

Travel is how we choose to spend. To us, we would rather save for a great trip than go out and about to the hotspots where we live. At home, we don't eat out lavishly, live in a mid-range apartment, take public transit when we can, neither of us drink (amazing what this saves!), and we still have some lingering parental support (our car was a gift when a parent upgraded some years ago, my cell phone is still on the old family plan).

Typical losers whose parents are bemoaning the fact they raised you like you are Oprah, but didn't earn your own money like Oprah. Do you choose to save? Having a kid is going to be a rude awakening to you. Please don't have a kid.[/quote]
