325k, 5k if we don't go see family abroad, 10k if we do.

450k hhi and we probably spend about 20k per year for the last couple years for travel with a family of 4.

Usually $6K, HHI of 330K, but we spent $14K on an Alaskan vacation this year.

HHI 330k.

Travel budget annually for all of us: 6k.

Wow this is awesome. How do you do that? Could you share your tactics?

I churn credit cards. Wait for high sign up bonuses, open cards, earn the bonuses through buying things I’d be buying anyway. Table the card for a year or two and open other cards. Most allow new signup bonuses every 24-48 months. Accrue points and use those points for travel. Bonus if you are eligible for business cards or have a partner who is also willing to partake in the hobby. It can be a part time job though, keeping track of all the cards, which ones to close and when, and which is the next one you want to open.

Also prioritize travel. HHI currently about $200K and this year will probably spend $30K. We do some CC churning to help the cost.

Probably $15K min HHI of $325k. Summer trip, spring break, winter short beach. Lots of using points for flights and hotels and i churn credit card signups.

HHI - $475k
Travel - $25-30k

Family of four.

Around $60k a year - travel is our favorite thing to do

I'm glad we got rid of our second home, much to my spouse's disappointment. Freed us from another mortgage so we can save more and travel.

Travel is usually between $8k to $20K.

HHI was $300K. Spouse just retired at 60. So we're down to $170k. And yea, they wanted to keep the vacation home and be able to retire early. I told spouse that wasn't happening. Pick one or the other. This was many many years ago.

HHI - $300K
Travel budget - $20-25K

Our kids are in college/graduated college (done saving). It was closer to $5-8k when saving for college.

350K a year income
Family of 3 (2 adults and 1 tween)
probably average $25-30k a year

Oh boy, I spend far too much of our income on travel.

This is for 2 adults, no kids, HHI $200k.
I don't technically have a budget, but we definitely spend $20-30k. I'm more of a "lets check the credit card after" type of traveller lol. We only do 1-2 extravagant trips per year, but take every opportunity we can to travel the rest of the time. I get much more vacation time than DH so we try to maximize his time off around holidays and long weekends.

Don't really have a budget, but EU trips for two for 10 days always come under $5k.
US trips are under $2k.
HHI $60k, but money comes from investments.
