This, but I definitely try to find ways to travel cheaply. I like mountains, so I plan bomb arse trips for just $1,200 dollars. I also take advantage of travel credit cards.
There is not a chance in hell that you can keep me away from the Rockies or the Sierras for more than a year. Louisiana sucks!! What also sucks is my friends not being able to go on any trips with my girlfriend and I because they are all married with kids. I would not trade where I'm at in life. I'm 28.
Good thread

This is pretty much me. Since my first real trip out West in 2015(I turn 29 in a week,) I've had some pretty serious wanderlust, and now I can't imagine not going out there at least once a year. Pretty obsessed with that part of the world. My GF and I have a pretty solid group of friends that share the same interests, and when we get about 5 people on board, it makes things cheaper as far as splitting costs when possible.

So, my suggestion is that, if you love traveling, just do it it, at whatever stage you find yourself at. There are ways to do it in a financially responsible way, you just have to play it smart.
