for a family of 5, about $5-6k if you go on a budget. If you aren't tight with money, $8-10k easy.

What is everyone’s opinion on whether it’s worth it, for the experience, especially for kids, to put a vacation on the credit card?

For a week for a family of 3 I would say around $5000. This is a vacation in the United States.

Outside I would say $10,000.

A few thousand. Beach condos are expensive and going to disney is expensive. Everything is expensive right now.

Too many factors because every vacation is different. Our budget is not by vacation but by year. One vacation might cost us $2500, two may cost $4,000 each, one may cost $5,000 and the other may cost us $7500 one year. The next we may take one less and spend $10k on one trip. The next, we may spend between $3k-$4k on each trip.

10k on summer trip. A bit more on a Vail trip. And we usually drive. It is a bit nuts how much even a trip to the beach costs these days.

Family vacation for me is usually the wife, two kids, and oftentimes MIL. We usually rotate between beach one year, cruise the next. Trip to the beach, usually for everything its between $3-$5K. Family cruise usually runs between $8-$10K.

Depends on the trip obviously.

We are going to Canby, MN in August. So 3 airline tickets, a rental car, 3 nights in a hotel. Its a wedding so shouldn't spend much there. I don't remember how much any of that costs because its been booked for so long.

October we are going to Surf City, NC. I think our share of the house was around $1200, plus gas there and back, and then we'll spend a decent amount on booze and food.

November we are going to MT. So that was just 3 airline tickets, I think they were about $400. So $1200, plus I'm sure we will go out a few times. But staying with my grandparents so lodging and car are free.

We spend a lot of money on travel every year. But we love going places with our son. He's 4 and has been to 23 states already.

Was looking at $2100 for five nights on the gulf. Decided to take the in-laws camper. $600 for five nights and probably about $250 on fuel.

With fuel cost the G650 is costing over $6000 an hour to operate so it depends on where we are going.

And our nanny is not giving it away. We have to pay her enough to turn down the swimsuit modeling she normally does.
