My dad makes decent money but we vacationed with these very poor people who have massive debt to pay off and had to spare money for their sake because they would not cooperate when we wanted to spend more, so our 11 day vacation was only $700 per person between me and my parents.
I drove to Florida with 5 other kids when I was in college. This was the 80s We had a pickup truck and rode 3 in the front and 3 in the back. We stayed at a camp ground which was cheap and cooked most of our meals. I started with two hundred dollars in cash and a hundred in Travellers checks I came home with a little cash and almost all the Travellers checks. We had an awesome time.
I used to, not so much anymore

No I have not. Nothing in my country is cheap. I live in Singapore where we can get from one end to another in less than an hour (so there’s literally nothing to do). Most of the buildings here are residential and many things you could do overseas are banned here.
Leaving the country is by no means cheap - we have to pay all sorts of taxes even before getting on the plane. FYI, the government taxes you almost $60 just for getting on that plane (I’m pretty sure you’d have to pay to arrive back here again)
My 15 minute medical procedure here in Singapore set me back 54k. How i wish I were living in America or Europe where I could spend the weekends travelling to different states. You spent $700 on a 11 day trip while ONE night in a decent hotel (nothing super fancy) here in Singapore would cost slightly under $300.
That is amazing. Every trip I have been on I always exceeded my spending, only because I act on impulse. I went to Vegas with a budget usually people go for 3 nights we went for 5 and I spent double what I wanted to. Especially when you can charge everything to your room lol.
Yeah, back when there were these "last minute" offers, I went on two of these and they turned out great- the Algarve (Portugal) and Sri Lanka.
I'm still waiting for the day when I get to go on vacation period.
Yes lots of times. But it really depends on the vacation.. some you can... some you can't
Yes quite often.
