[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a lot of people who vacation a lot and none of them make anywhere close to what OP makes (and most of them are below 100K--most are not in DC area).

Two things:  1.  vacations are put on credit cards and 2. grandparents paying for the vacation.  That accounts for most of it.  [/quote]

I can't imagine making my parents pay for my vacations. Do the grandparents also accompany your friends on these vacations or just pay for it? What kind of people are these?![/quote]

My parents pay for 1 big vacation a year.  They have three kids, three grandchildren and spouses.  These vacations range from Europe (haven't done since grandkids were born) to skiing out west, to mexico.  My parents are rich.  They are retired, almost 70 years old, and love spending time with their children and grands.  They easily spend $50k a year travelling, so spending $30k for a family of 10 to take a trip once a year really isn't going to drastically change things. They also own a second home at the beach.  People who know where I vacation and how much might think - man they go on vacation a lot - but as a family of 4 we shell out for one family trip.  The rest is the vacation with my folks and our time at their beach house. [/quote]
