What’s your average cost for a family vacation?

What are you all with kids spending on the family vacation? Something like the beach, skiing, or visiting somewhere in the US?

two years ago, like 5k. today, like one million dollars.

5k for a 4-6 night vacation. 7-8k for ski trip or disney.

Vacation budgets are directly tied to income... I can tell you for certain my average cost of vacation would go up tremendously if I made 1 million a year

Rest areas are free to stay in.

Couple grand for a beach vacation. 70% of that is on the condo/house.

Somewhere between $5k-10k depending. We’ve been skipping the family vacations for a few years since My oldest graduated and just going with us or taking the one kid graduating.

Those saying $5k are blowing me away. Are y’all going to Hawaii or Europe every year or something? Fuuuuuck that. I spend $2,500 at most (usually $1,500-$2,000) on most family vacations. Hell, even a Disney trip for the family costs me $3,100 but that’s so few and far between. If you’re spending $5k on a typical family vacation, you either need to invest in a vasectomy or tone down your extravagant vacations.
Or maybe I’m just a tightwad, who knows. No way am I regularly spending &5k on a family vacation every year.

Varies greatly.
We vacation based on what we are trying to do, not fit it into a budget.
We don't do a beach/Disney trip every year that costs the same every time.

10-20K, with skiing vacations being the most expensive in my experience
Posted on 4/22/22 at 10:28 am to StringedInstruments
3,000.00 average per vacation, but we take two to three a year that range from 4-7 days each one.
We have one that we are largely funding that includes all our grown kids and their families for Christmas, that will be much larger.

Skiing this past Spring Break was probably around $3,500 (actual, not OT 350)
We did a 2 week road trip this Summer to Yellowstone, Tetons and RMNP, it was less than $5,000.
We drive about 95% of our trips, so we save up to $2000 a trip. Flying is not worth the cost.

Currently planning a trip from Florida to Maui next year (10 days). Utilizing credit card perks, rewards, transfer partners, and points we'll probably be around $3,000 out of pocket for two families.

Family of 3 for me and flying is normally $3-4k with transportation, hotel, and food.
Posted on 4/22/22 at 10:34 am to StringedInstruments
I travel a lot for work so I rack up points which helps when we travel nationally.
I would say we spend about $2-3k on a local-ish vacation with one child + dog sitting costs.
This summer we are going to Europe (London, Paris, and Seville) and we are spending about $5k in flights and lodging + I estimate about another 3k in expenses while there. + dog sitting.

Probably around $2500 for the two of us, so far.
Schedule wise, we only hit the point a couple of years ago where we can go out of the country on longer vacations, but the Covid ruined that. I imagine that will be much more, as we are big eaters/drinkers.

I think I’ve only spent more than $2500 on a trip once and that was a cruise three years ago.
We were always able to keep our beach trips to less than $2,000, but that is getting more difficult with high arse rental rates.
Trips to the Pacific Northwest we stay with family.
I currently have enough credit card points for four round trip tickets in the U.S so that will help a lot when we decide on our next trip.
One kid will be done with college in two years so I can’t wait to finally start planning some expensive trips with my wife
