What's even funnier, and people have pointed this out in his other threads, that have since been removed from C-D, while his supposed $800,000 or whatever net worth is nice, that puts him in the top 10%. To be in the top 2% in the US, you need a net worth of $2,400,000.
The top 1% of net worth in USA in 2020 = $10,500,000
The top 2% of net worth in USA in 2020 = $2,400,000
The top 5% of net worth in USA in 2020 = $1,000,000
The top 10% of net worth in USA in 2020 = $830,000
The top 50% of net worth in USA in 2020 = $507,000
Well I would imagine a 5 year old with a hundred bucks could lay claim they were in the top 2-3% wealth...for their age. But in the scheme of the world, it is not wealthy at all. The op hasn’t figured that out yet.

Oh wait, it’s another eddiehaskellism. Had nothing to do with the comment, just a random post.
I personally know ZERO people my age who travel as much as me and I don’t even travel that much. That’s why I’m a little taken back by people who insinuate one isn’t living if they aren’t spending $30k/year on travel in their early 30s. LOL
Are there really that many world travels in the early 30s?
You don't travel, you do road trips.
Travelling is expensive. If money was no object more people would be flying all over the world. Then there's all the hassle with security so that deters people, as well as long flights and uncomfortable seats that kill the experience.
I'm guessing the people you know don't make a lot of money to do it often, or just like staying at home like yourself.
Way more people are in the camp of travelling than not that I know. The majority of ones that no longer wish to fly tend to be seniors who did it and are tired of flying.

Since I was a child I considered going to the mountains or beach for 3-4 days to be traveling. Heck, I even consider a day trip travel.
Why are traveling people so underrepresented here on city data?
It seems like a lot of people here could afford to spend more on travel but they don’t.
Are people who travel more likely to use Internet forums?
And I would bet you a few grand that people with top 5% (or 3% or 10% — whatever) on average spend well under 50% of the year on vacation.
No worries guys...it may be 2am but I did a 3 second Google search for us....

An American living in a household that makes more than $150,000 is estimated take 4.7 times the vacation days of an average U.S. consumer.
Affluent Americans take an average of three six-day vacations a year, according to The Resonance Report 2013. This looks like a global expedition in comparison to the 3.8 vacation days taken by the average U.S. worker in 2010.
The affluent, as described by this report, are those that live in households that make more than $150,000 in the United States. The average “affluent” household earns an income of $370,000 and has an average net worth of $3.1 million.
I’m someone that retired extremely early - I have plenty of time, but really have no desire to travel much. I’ve been told that I’m mmissing out.
How much do you spend on travel? Do you wish you could travel more? Has spending more on travel opened you up to liking it more?
Any experience one wants to have 1st starts with a desire to have that experience and if you don't have the desire to travel nothing wrong with that. I happen to love to travel and that love started as a desire of wanting to experience travel, but I don't have a desire to experience eating an oyster, to sky dive, get a tattoo, etc. and in no way do I feel I am missing out not having these experiences and you should not either regarding travel if the desire to experience it is not there.
