A month every summer, but we visit family, so there are no hotel costs and we cook at home. DH brings his laptop and works remotely some weeks.

I am continually shocked by how much PTO some people are able to take over the summer.


My husband is a partner in a law firm. He does not have to track or report PTO. Trust me, he’s working every vacation. No need to be jealous.

We are doing a 10 day trip to UK/France and a weeklong cruise with my in-laws. He will work at least some during both trips, I’m sure.

Yes but many people actually have no PTO. They don’t get paid if they don’t work. Your husband has the option to not be a partner at a big law firm. He’s probably being very well compensated for his “sacrifice” of working while in France.


You also have the option to not take a job that does not offer PTO. As someone with a job where I don't have to track or report PTO, the "compensation" for the roll never really replaces the sacrifice.

Do you live in a rich person’s bubble?
