NP but what’s your HHI?

Our net worth is over 20 million. But we go to expensive locations at expensive times, so we aren’t just throwing money away on fancy hotels. I don’t know how people are finding $500 hotels.

Really depends where I am going. Generally $500-1000 in the US but less in Europe. Just spent $200/night outside London with a full breakfast included. I stayed in NYC recently for $300 (for work, and in a low demand period). Spent $550 in Aspen this winter, which was a bargain for Aspen. HHI over $1m.

Of course they do, if you don’t mind budget hotels. I just booked a hotel in Williamsburg for about $70/night. Even in NYC, I find centrally-located hotels for less than $250/night with advance planning and off-season dates.

This.

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.

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, 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!

$200 Hampton Inn Fruitland Md.
Sometimes it is $260 on weekends.
Overlooks Walmart and cornfields.

$380 HHI and we spend about $200-250 on hotels.

450K HHI. Depends.

We look at the whole vacation cost - room, car rental, airfare, eating out. And work it all out as a per day cost.

When we travelled with kids, we tried to keep it to $1000 per day, and now it is just DH and I as empty nesters, we will upgrade a bit.
