I’m sometimes stunned by how poorly asked some questions are coming from this group. How can we possibly answer with this little info.

If all questions were phrased properly half of us would be out of work 😂

Let’s do a requirement analysis, followed by a scenario planning and then finally implementation coaching.

Also: 42!

Depends where and what type of trip. 5 days at an all inclusive resort is much cheaper than 5 days in Sweden where you’re paying for meals, drinks, transportation, activities.

Not enough info. I’ve taken 5 day vacations hiking in the mountains that have cost me less money than it takes to live normally. I’ve taken 5 day vacations where I’ve splurged and spent thousands. What are you looking for in your 5 day trip?

Between 100 and 50k.

Stupid questions beget stupid answers.

2k per day

We price check before we take a trip to know what our budget should be for the location. Trip Advisor is a good place to figure out activities and costs associated. Check the airline calendars on best fly days then plan around it. We are a family of two and budget $50 a day per person for food + $500 for fun.

Overall, our yearly budget for trips, both long term and weekend getaways, is $10k a year because that is what our budget can allow.

Location matters to answer this

like

$4-10K for 2 folks across flights, hotels and food. Usually if the flight / hotel is free with points will splurge more on the food.

like

For two people: $500-$1,000 per day for hotel food, rides, drinks, and entertainment. Flight is separate.

Hey everyone,
I am an incoming real estate analyst (valuation) after graduating this past May. I will be starting my new job quite soon and am excited to begin in the CRE industry. That being said, I have my eyes on moving to another sector in RE within 1-2 yrs (acquisitions, capital markets, development) as valuation isn’t my desired future but rather a good stepping stone for me to learn some foundations in RE underwriting.
Any suggestions/advice on how to approach this first year?
