[quote=Anonymous]While we wouldn’t say that we travel enough our friends would. Dh and I are late 20s and prioritize travel above all else. We have siblings who do the exact same and our parents always think we are spending much more on hotels and airfare then we actually are.  For example, we recently spent about a week and a half in Europe for 450 round trip and traveled to Asia for 600 round trip (and these are not budget airlines so it can be done for cheaper).

We live in a tiny older apartment with cheap rent for our hhi (hhi is 220+bonuses with housing costs including utilities at 1500). It is what you prioritize your spending on. For us, an apartment and cars are not important. We travel to Europe or Asia three times a year and take a number of weekend trips within the US (think Colorado, New Orleans, Boston). We always try to travel over a day off if possible (example Veterans Day) to save days. For international travel, we are lucky that we have free places to stay around multiple US airports and search for places with the best flights and use that airport. We rarely travel out of DC since it’s more expensive. We do stay at Marriott/Westin type hotels but ususally the cheapest prioritizing the best area so we can save money walking everywhere. We also choose our destinations based on where  is on sale and always go off season. We have been so fortunate to have great luck with weather even when everyone tells us it will be miserable. We both understand that after kids we won’t be able to take advantage of this- hence why we plan to travel even more in the next two to three years.[/quote]
