I don't misunderstand you. There are plenty beachfront condos you can rent all by yourself and stay under $3500 total cost for 4 nights including meals.
You have fancy tastes and can afford them apparently. That's fine. But you very clearly don't grasp what is possible with lesser budgets.

Yeah, not wanting to cook every meal on a vacation. He's clearly leading an aristocratic lifestyle. You and Roger are doing pulling some weird moral judgment based on your magic $3500 number (funny how the line is drawn where you feel comfortable affording it, huh?).
This board is so odd with this sometimes. Mowing your own grass is another moral judgment trope on this board. I'll tell you what, you all go enjoy mowing your own grass and cooking all your own meals on vacation. I'll just be an immoral person.
ETA: And by the way, if we're following you and Roger, the most moral person in this thread is the guy a few pages back who doesn't vacation and just stays home watching TV. That guy's a Saint.

you are right, i didnt have it set on low price first, there are some for ~250ish
so you could get away with it at 1250 or so after taxes and fees, but for a family of 5, gonna be stacked on top of one another
lets say gas is 350ish so we are at 1600 total so far
leaves about 1900 for everything which is certainly doable
but not gonna be a ton of entertainment or eating out but some for sure.
so like i said...you can do a vacation for 4 nights to gulf shores for a family for under 3500 but thats about the floor. could prolly do 3k if you really tighten down
and ftr i never said you couldnt do it, just said that its not much of a vacation imo. and yea im a little spoiled because in my 20s that was an awesome vacation. and i firmly grasp what possible with a lesser budget
but that doesnt mean someone has a spending problem if you dont do vacation for under 3500. frankly i wouldnt want to do for only 4 nights. imo anything less than 6 nights is not even worth the drive. but to each their own
im not judging someone for spending less or more than i do like you and roger are.
