Add a vacation to the ever-growing list of stuff that’s getting too expensive.
That’s according to a new survey from Bankrate.com, which found that just 52% of the 2,577 adults surveyed would definitely be vacationing this summer. Of those who said they wouldn’t be, “can’t afford it” was the most-cited reason. About a fifth of those who said they can’t afford it cited their efforts to pay down debt.
That survey data translates to 39 million U.S. adults not taking a vacation this summer due to expense, Bankrate said.
Other leading reasons that respondents cited were “not interested” (23%) and “health/age” (15%).

I agree plus add those extreme gas prices to it...I am even cutting down trips around town...
ReplyDeleteDON'T need to go anywhere. Pool, backyard, and grill. What more do you need?? Why pay TOP DOLLAR for crowded, rude, and overpriced accommodations?? This way the kids learn they have to work and still relax AT HOME. Not to mention MONEY SAVED!! I've been around the world as many have. IT SUCKS!! OVER PRICED AND THE HATE AMERICANS.
ReplyDeleteIt’s no wonder - take OC for example.... the cost of a hotel alone during prime season is plenty of reason to make you blink.... add to that fuel cost, food, parking... that will hurt a family. Best bet is to live close to the beach and enjoy without paying all the associated costs....
