[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a mortgage, max out my retirement accounts, make $130K and go on lots of vacations. Here's how I do it:

- stay at airbnb apartments, usually with several friends who I go vacation with (much cheaper than hotels)
- because I usually stay in an airbnb, it means I often cook 1 meal a day at the airbnb.  Or make coffee or drink wine and relax, etc. (rather than going out for every single outing.)
- travel in the off season often
- I'm good at getting airline deals.  Also, when you travel in the off season, it's cheaper
- I have friends and family all over the world that I can stay with
- sometimes my job pays for work trips and I just stay a few extra days for fun or go somewhere nearby
- I have friends who enjoy traveling and often travel for work. If work is paying for their hotel, I go for free.

Finally, I don't prioritize materials, so I don't spend much money on clothes/shoes/jewelry/etc.[/quote]

Similar here - we went to disney with another family and rented a house nearby for a song and we split the cost.  We ate some meals there.  Of course disney tickets are expensive and there's no getting around that.  Went in the off season to save on airline tickets.  This is pretty much how we roll and how we're able to afford to travel.  [/quote]
