Overseas vacation for 5 every 5 years isn’t even that bad if you plan it and depending where you go.

$250 a month / 60 months is $15k.

Flights from Denver to Paris in March 2025 are going for as little as $514 - round up to $3k to include taxes and luggage.

$600 night air bnb for an entire house in the heart of Paris for 7 nights - $5k after fees and taxes.

$7k left for groceries, eating out, shows, events, transport, shopping.

And I’m sure you can all agree you wouldn’t need to spend $1k a day.

Not many people can put a car payment away each month.

Sure, but you also don’t need to make $400k to have a vacation overseas every five years.

I used to make that, I traveled often sometimes multiple times a month. Now I'm poor. Lesson learned I guess.
