Millennials and Gen-Zers are pulling in bigger paychecks, but much of their spending power is fueling short-term purchases like groceries and vacations, not savings (www.nbcwashington.com)

Who tf can afford a vacation in 2023/2024??? Hell I'd have to be between jobs to even have the time off

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago

my "vacations" are basically for having an extra day or two off. Maybe I'll go on a day trip to somewhere in the area. It's not like I'm going to a retreat on a private island or anything

Now I go on vacation it's only thing that keeps me from going fucking crazy. It expensive but goddammit I am going.

Also only reason stay at this shitty job because of three weeks of vacation I get. If I didn't get that I would quit.

I went to visit a friend a few states over for their wedding. They let me stay at their place for a week. For the time off I work union :D

Doing that as we speak. My job was shit, so I'm moving back to an old also-shit-but-slightly-less-shit job. I don't start back at my old job for another week or two, and had originally planned to keep working the currently one until then. But I got fed up with bullshit and stopped going a few nights ago, and am now enjoying a two-week unpaid "vacation".
