@Texans_loyal so basically the minimum wage burger flipper in McDonalds get more paid vacation days than someone earning double their wage in an office in America!!
Also the people who go for 2-3 weeks and stay at deluxes the whole time. Do any of them want to adopt a 28 year old lady with a husband??? I have nothing to offer but my self deprecating jokes and I make some pretty good pasta.
I don't understand how you all have the TIME to go! Meaning how do you get so much dedicated time off work? Even if you get a few weeks of vacation, isn't some used up with taking care of sick kids, travelling to visit family at the holidays, child care over the summer, covering teacher institute days at your kids' school? DH gets a few weeks off each year, but it is impossible to use that time EXCLUSIVELY for vacation. So many days get frittered away here-and-there by.... you know, LIFE. Grown up things. Staying home to meet the plumber. Taking grandma to the dr.
Don't get me wrong.. I'm happy for everyone. I just couldn't fathom how to make it work in practical terms.
You're my hero!We are currently building a house and moving there in July. We had planned to retire somewhere close to WDW but we decided to do it a few years early.
You save for it. You choose wisely. If you can afford to do it every year, great! If you can't then you may have to choose between shorter yearly trips or that long one every couple of years. We all make choices with our money.
