BB, are you making twice what you did 30 years ago...or more?
I have been retired 9 years. The first 15-20 yrs of business travel, hotel rates increased at a relatively slow rate. The last 10 yrs of business travel, the rate increases began to gain speed rapidly, in no small part due to increased taxes and fees levied by various government entities.
My income increases went the opposite direction as the cost of living indexes decreased thru those same years.
Don't forget the same increased taxes and fees levied by various government entities have also hit the RV parks to. I know one park owner who's property tax doubled.
