Well disneysteve, I think my DH plans on a private jet and 5 star hotels. We're too old now to backpack and we don't want to stay at rat motels anymore. We like staying in nicer places and eating whatever we want. Also we enjoying drinking and paying admission to places instead of freebies like before.
So I guess we're moving to luxury! And I am not sure if I should stuff any of you in my suitcase.
My roomie would by many people's definitions have blown all his money. He owns no home, has no retirement and is still a student at 31. He instead has travelled the world literally. Backpacked in Pakistan, India, Turkey, hiked Kilamanjaro, gone on african safari, lived/worked in malaysia and indonesia, volunteered in croatia, etc. He's seen pretty much all of Europe and Asia and a good chunk of Africa.
But to him money is not important. His parents are currently volunteering in Turjukistan with an AID relief group taking a year sabbatical from their jobs. He did that between college and graduate school as well!
So like his parents he'll work longer than maybe many here. But I think like his parents they are very happy and satisfied with life. Calling their lives extravagent maybe, but they made decisions they can live with.
