I read this on the internet today:
Adult money is weird. One minute you're complaining about the price of eggs. The next you've booked a flight to England and are trying to work out how you can buy a cottage in the Cotswolds.

Certain people complained about the price of eggs. About the price of eggs as it affected other people because for themselves it did not matter since they could easily afford vacations and cottages.
Now we don’t hear anything about the price of eggs. Must be nothing to complain about.

50 years ago, when I was in my 20s, I couldn't afford to go overseas. After raising two kids and a divorce, putting kids through college, then saving for retirement, YES, we have done overseas trips 2-3 times a years since I retired 15 years ago.

Good point!
Getting the absolute last drop out of every bottle of lotion, dishwashing liquid, toothpaste tube , etc. before opening a new one…..but flying Premium or Business class on every trip without a second thought.
And an apartment in Florence on the wish list…..

Very true, Frank II. And to this day I make my grocery lists based on what is in the weekly flyers while bemoaning the price of beef. But maybe being careful with my pennies all these years is what has allowed us to book those BC seats to Egypt.
