World Is A Simulation

When can I resume to normal and spend money for travel?

I am so used to travel for free, especially for luxury hotels and first class transcontinental flights. I should come back to earth when kids start school and I have more restrictions.

This morning I spent the morning arranging hotels for Vancouver trip, we always stay at Hyatt Regency Vancouver with summer average pricing above $400 including tax. for the last three trips and future, FOR FREE.

It is considered normal in the family, over the years, we never paid for our business/first class tickets to Japan(20+ times)/Europe(4+ times and > 4months duration added)/Australia(2+ time, 1month+ stay)/Thailand…..

But it came at a price that we booked in advance and plan it with flexibility. With Kids going to school, that could be a past.

Also I wonder the addiction to take care of the miles or points is beneficial overall? The efforts are definitely better valued if spending on learning and progressing in career. But what if the purpose of progressing in career is to get the family on a nice trip?

At least collecting miles and points is an interesting hobby which focuses on the family welfare and enjoyment of life itself, it is better than money in the sense that you could get distracted by earning more money, but for points, you always think about how to use it and don’t feel guilty about it.
