Original honeymooning poster here. We're headed to Namale. All paid for and booked. Very excited. And the minimoon is so we don't just get married and get back to work. Certain commitments keep us in town right afterwards but we still want to enjoy a few days to ourselves at a VA inn.

That would be a dealbreaker.


1% could still be $10,000 round these parts

Yup.

We spend probably 5-10% of our HHI on vacations.

Taveuni garden island resort. $1,000 or so a night, but well worth it.

Oh, like "minimoon". Stop the eye rolling! Are you in third grade?

It really varies. Usually somewhere between 2% and 6% and "averages" 3%.

What is your vacation budget as a percent of your income?
We spend 4% of our pretax income on vacations. Seems low.
What about you?
