re: What’s your average cost for a family vacation?

For vacations requiring flights, we typically use miles for them.
For everything else, we try to stick to around $2,500-$3,000 for hotels/AirBnB, rental car, meals, activities and everything else.
Our typical vacation takes us to a city/state with stuff to do (Boston, New Hampshire, Montana, etc.) not Hawaii or Disney.
ETA - my wife and I are planning on going to Scotland for our 25th anniv in a few years. That'll be an expensive one...

Me and the wife took our 17 month old to Hawaii for a week back in March. Added it up after and spent a little over $6k. Told her we aren’t spending like drunken sailors again to take a kid on a vacation he will never remember. Especially while we were buying a new home.

We usually do several 4-7 day trips per year. Those probably average around 2k each, but that's not a hardline number, it could vary wildly.

An oceanfront house in NC (Topsail Island)costs me $3,500+ a week in season. Add food, gas and alcohol, it's easily $5k per year for a week at the beach.

Vacations are like dining out. You want to eat a steak, you can go to Outback or Ruth’s Chris. Both have steaks, other diners around you, additional menu items to choose, and both cost you money.
You need to decide if the difference in price, quality and experience is worth the extra money.
Picking an amount to spend and using that as the basis it is not the best strategy. Better to find a place you want to go and figure a budget that makes it happen.
