Even being super cheap/conservative it’s hard to not spend 1k $125/night (shithole) for 3 nights = $375 2 $50 tickets (shite seats) for a concert/game/show = $100 5 cheap meals for 2 = $200 One nicer dinner = $150 Fuel, Ubers, transport = $100
I’m about to drop nearly 2,000 dollars for my wife and I to go on a long weekend trip to georgia. Southwest flights, below median hotel costs, cheap rental car and normal food/restaurants.
shite is wack.

Hotel prices will never not confuse me
I paid like $400 for two nights at very nice downtown hotel on Labor Day weekend
Then I spent the same thing for a courtyard in the middle of nowhere on a weeknight a few weeks later

As I’ve stated 100 times, the whole point is an engineer and a nurse with 2 kids shouldn’t have to drive a 2012 accord for a decade to be able to retire one day. What kind of society do you retards want to live in?
What’s wrong with that? That’s a very reliable car. Plenty of those out there that are well-maintained and in good shape both mechanically and cosmetically.

Again, this wasn’t normal to do this.
Why are you going?

It wasn’t normal to go on weekend trips like this. I get you may consider it normal, but used to not be.

Americans have been vacationing since post-WW2. Ever heard of Route 66?

Vacation is something you take in your 70s when you retire. Even weekend trips. For now you need to be eating rice and beans and staying in on the weekends. This is how folks made it in this country until these ungrateful millennials polluted adulthood.

Years of being on this board have taught me two things re old people:
1. They have unrealistic nostalgia for what the past was like growing up vs society now.
2. They also have simultaneous views that they had it far tougher than any of you youngsters could ever imagine.

Most of you people wouldnt have survived the 70s,. At least we can live in both worlds.

The same posters who will tell you on the OT that things are better/easier than ever will hop on to the poliboard and post about how america has already reached escape velocity and that DC is has irreversibly destroyed america.
Eta: see above

I'm not shocked you lack the ability to discern.

Imagine these dusty boomers having their entire lives be recorded and online. Those degenerates would have been shunned from society before adulthood.

You just stringing random words together?

You’re right. Obese 50 + year old Americans who grew up with organized sports, cartoons, microwave food, and vacations to theme parks and the beach are pretty similar to our ancestors who didn’t have running water or electricity.
