I don't need luxury. I can shut down the engines camping in the woods for a week. That's a GREAT vacation actually

the vacation doesn't have to be luxurious for a vacation to be a luxury

even just a camping trip with a family for a week can be a luxury item due to having to buy gear (tent, sleeping bags, etc) for everyone and just driving to your destination

most of us on here are upper middle class, so it's hard to imagine it taking several years to save even just $1k for a cheap vacation

but its the world that the majority of people live in
