Amen! Our friends seem envious of our trips, but aren't willing to make the sacrifices.
Yep. People say to me all the time that they can't afford to vacation or travel like we do.
Well it all boils down to priorities. I will never own granite counter tops in my kitchen and my "new" truck has 130K miles on it. I divert a lot of my funds into travel expenses.
Not sure how I'll ever get my kids to the Pacific, but that's not a huge priority anyway. There's a lot to do locally that we still haven't done yet.
My friend used to travel over the country while she was growing up. Her parents were teachers with the summer off and they would drive the car and tent camp. That's economical for sure, but I'd prefer the camper. ;-)
