When I was in college, I had a friend who essentially told me this when I said I couldn’t afford to go clubbing in the big city 2 hours away or traveling through Europe on a whim. She had a big suite at her parents’ huge house and her dad’s credit card so she never had to create her own safety net. People who were born on third base and think they hit a triple will pat themselves on the back ad nauseam for their own immense, unearned privilege.

Reminds me of a popular Indian meme, the folks on the top are the born on third base kids claiming that it’s actually possible to quit jobs and travel the world, the guy at the bottom is a working class dude asking sarcastically “who will give the money? Your parents?”

Bless his heart. If you told me I could travel in my 20s or travel in my 40s, I'll pick the nice resort, comfy bed, and enough budget for the top shelf liquor and waiter service.

I was a huge fan of it at the time. Now, probably not.

I'll take the millions now please!
I'd tell him, better you sock away a lot at , especially into a Roth and HSA, then you'll have millions and be able to take nice trips when you retire! And not worry about just scraping by.
I didn't start doing real vacations until I was 39 when I made enough to travel cross country for pleasure, not just to see family.
Last big vacation I did was 13 years ago. Pretty much doing trips to see family or HS reunion, occasionally GH fan club event!

They do realize that travel has no age, and that it’s easier to travel when you have the funds to do so. Right? Right?!
