[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obviously much of this is a matter of perspective. We are a family of 3 living in DC on about 230k and I feel very wealthy. No we don't buy luxury cars or do private schools, but those aren't things we want. We do multiple international trips a year and life feels very comfortable. I also grew up with a single mom who worked in retail her whole life, so I have a basis for comparison. [/quote]

Genuinely curious about how you do this: each international trip for a family of four can easily cost 10k above. Several will be 30k? Are you not saving for retirement ? [/quote]

Not all international trips cost that much. Ours, for a family of four, usually cost 6K or less.
If you're frugal in other areas of your life, you'll find ways to be frugal when traveling internationally too.[/quote]

I call total and complete BS unless your idea is international is a drive to Montreal.

Since we are discussing “families” we all have to travel peak season because our kids are in school. We are headed to Germany this Christmas and got an incredible deal on flights for $800/each. Under your claims for our 8 night stay that would leave us with a $350 budget a day for hotel, food, and transportation. Even if we found an Airbnb for 200/nt(including the crazy taxes) you are not feeding, transporting, and and touring the area for the remaining $150/day.[/quote]
