Expensive hotels kill me. I’ve stayed in plenty of Ritz/ St. Regis/ Four Seasons and I just don’t get the point. I honestly prefer just a Marriott or Hyatt. You get so much more value for your money. I do book first on flights over 4 hrs. Its worth it.
Usually travel overseas for vacation
Overnight flights business
Day flights economy - try to find day flights
Hotels standard Marriott etc
We travel so much that we see airline travel, hotel stays as necessity to enjoy what we are going to enjoy - so don’t splurge on them but spend enough to remain comfortable as have seen them all mostly
We do spend on experiences though at the destinations
Michelin star restaurants, expensive tickets for events/sights etc
I think it is the experiences which stay with us - the rest as I said is a necessity to get those experiences
Around $40 K - Family of 4
No idea what we actually spend on vacations but likely > $50k, and that’s after optimizing quite a bit with points and miles. Family of 4.
For context this covers usually 1 longer international family trip, 2-3 domestic long weekend family trips, 1-2 long weekend no kids trips. Sometimes a week at a beach house instead of one of the domestic family trips.
$500k+
Around $20k on vacations + lake house and boating spend (mini vacations each weekend during the summer)
30-40k
I spend around $100K on vacations annually (2 big trips - usually international - plus a few smaller trips (like Disney)). Annual income of around $1.25M.
