If you have the money and enjoy your vacations, please stop looking for a problem. Enjoy!

We probably spend <$1k but that's because we are always broke. It's nice to spend some time away and do things together even if it means hours in the car and staying with friends/relatives.

HHI of 200k, we spend 4-5k on holiday travel & little mini vacations on 3 day weekend in years that we stay domestic. I have ILs abroad, so when we travel to see them, it's more like 7-8k.

We don't go on any vacations.

The last time I was on a vacation was for my honeymoon back in 2005.


That would depress me beyond anything else.

About $6000 this year. I do not consider visiting family for a long weekend a vacation. We do that a few times as well. Some years it is closer to $10,000 but that is only every four or five years or so.

HHI $500,000

HHI is $160k, and we spend about $2k. We do one camping trip over Memorial Day, then one week off in the Summer. This year, we are going to Massanutten Resort. Then we drove for one long weekend to see family in Ohio.

More than I'd like to -- airfares have just stabilized a lot higher than they used to be, and multiply that by 5 and it's not pretty.

I think one thing we are definitely grateful for is the web has made it a lot easier to rent nice apartments; I hate to imagine what a full service hotel would run us.

Anyway, I'd sooner take the kids away then replace my aging but paid for, car. But I am grateful to be able to make that choice.

15K per year- family of three. We take one big summer vacation (a cruise or a nice resort) and a few out of town trips to other cities (Chicago. Seattle, etc.)
Is HHI before taxes? If so, we're at about 350K. Otherwise, I estimate about 240K.
Travel is horribly expensive- especially of you want to stay in a decent hotel. If a time comes when we can't afford it, I would plan a staycation each year. A week of local fun, participation mandatory.

I can't bear to add it up. At least $20k so far this year. But that did include one big international trip.

Sorry, forgot to mention that HHI varies but is typically somewhere between 400-600k.
