Went striper fishing in Tennessee about 2k for 3 days.

Going to Miami for Braves end of September. Had enough miles for a free flight. Probably 1-1500 after that.

If you have reached your FIRE number, I get it.

But if you haven’t, these figures yall are spending on trips is insane.

I pretty much love on vacation. Took a few weekend trips but that was nothing.

$4800 for 8 days/7 nights at Hard Rock resort in Punta Cana in April. Booked flights and resort in December before fuel prices went up. All inclusive with a day trip on the water with a large group. Sounds like the price was good compared to some of these posts.

We took 3 this summer.

Ozarks in June for elkfest on my bday.

Costa Rica in July.

Florida next week.

Probably spent close to 12k so far on those 3 for 2 people. I hadn't been on a proper vacation in 3 years so we had fun this summer while I knew work would be lighter with more employees around

The idea of spending high-four figs on a vacation to the Gulf Coast is mindboggling to me.

This is why I don’t fall for charity cases. You never know how foolish the person was with money and then they expect a handout.

frick that. Let me see how you spent your money for the last 30 years and then I’ll see if you deserve help.

I knew a guy. Took vacations to the other side of the world and spent money on other BS.

His wife died and he setup a GoFundMe to pay for her burial because he couldn’t afford it.

Not one cent from me.

I know. The fricker got over 30K.

Buried his wife and took another trip to the far east.

I bet he’s on public assistance.

We kind of pieced one together. 3 nights in Mexico beach was about $1k for a family of 5. Easy going beaches while the rest of the losers an hour down the road couldn’t swim because of double red flags. Then headed on to Orlando where the wife raped my wallet at Loews Portofino bay hotel and Universal studios. Fun yet violated feeling like a hooker. Not sure about the total cost. I just paid the card off and acted like it never happened
