Well, we haven't taken traditional vacations since 2018. We bought a condo in NC where we go to get away. It's cash cost is about $25K / year (plus cost of furniture we bought). But we have been getting more than that back on paper from price appreciation.

Prior to the condo, we spent maybe 1/2 that amount. The cost of everything travel-related seems to have increased substantially. Just booked air, car and hotel to go see my dad in RI for a 5 days in Sept - Oct and it was pricey. I looked into booking AirBnB's in our condo building for family to visit us there and it was insane ($495 / night plus fees on fees on fees).
