[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HHI $600+. We’re typically Courtyard Marriott/Holiday Inn Express type people, so maybe $200-400/room/night, depending on the city? Now that our 3 kids are teens, we’ll sometimes get two rooms or a suite if everyone is traveling together. The big exception on the price front is the Disney cruises we went on where we splurged for 2 rooms, or cities like Rome or NYC where we don’t want to sleep in roachy rooms.

I feel like everyone has things they are unusually cheap about and other things they are willing to spend stupid amounts of money on (see Disney cruises above and feel free to flame away! 😄) The key is to consider all your discretionary spending in one big basket and make sure you’re saving for your goals first.

[b]There’s a mom in my neighborhood who lives in a big house, drives a new Benz SUV and has all the luxury things. And her kid with 1500+ SAT who busted his butt studying through HS has been told he needs to get merit scholarships or go to his state school. 🤷‍♀️ That doesn’t make sense to me,[/b] but people value different things. I’m sure some people value nice hotels more than retiring early or expensive colleges/cars. You do you, OP![/quote]

Over-leveraged. So common. [/quote]

Probably not as much as you think. [b]I live in an affluent area and there's plenty of parents who say it's the flagship state school or find a merit elsewhere. Because they don't see the value in paying extra for a fancier college when the flagship is pretty good. I do see their point. [/b]Same principle can apply to hotels. Spend 4 nights in a hotel whether a 200 night or 500 night place, after the four days you're in the same place. Likewise, after four years at a flagship or a fancy private college, you're in the same place. [/quote]
