[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have wondered this too. I also grew up in an affluent bubble. Maybe you went on a school trip to Italy in high school or a service trip to Central America, and maybe skiing to Vail once in a while, but no one went on these trips 3-4x a year.

We are comfortable but I do wonder how people afford this?[/quote]

Op here. Yes exactly what I’m talking about!

The rich apple I knew were much more likely to own a second home at the beach then take international vacations. Maybe one or two bucket list type trips right after retirement. But the people I know take 4-5 bucket list type trips a year! How do they afford that??[/quote]

I know it’s hard to understand, but they have more money than you do. [/quote]

I mean, it boils down to this. Combined with how much people do or don't prioritize savings. We live well below our means and save aggressively. I'm curious to see what happens to the big spenders in their late 50's. Are they still working hard to fund the lifestyle, or are they able to step back/semi retire/retire like us? We won't know until then if they were actually making more, or just spending more. [/quote]
