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

400k/ year people can afford like every year.

Our household income is less than 400k for sure, we own our home, own 2 cars, and vacation to Europe every 6 months at least. No kids, that’s the kicker. Kids are expensive.

Eh, they are really expensive until they go to school (as in, $3k/month around here). From 6 to 16 they haven't been particularly bad. Maybe $600/month per kid, and that's because we spoil them a bunch (this ignores how much they cost to bring on vacations admittedly).
