traveling can even bring joy to little ones

Sure, and like I said, I'm not trying to deflate anybody's enjoyment of their own time and money. I continue to stress the fact that I personally don't like traveling or spending money on vacation amenities. It's just so temporary; if the idea is to collect memories and have new experiences, there are way cheaper ways to have a good time in my opinion.

I went to California when I was in 5th grade and we visited a beach, and I got a little plastic box full of tiny seashells for like $3. I still have them, and I enjoy having them, but bruh they cost $3 and the flight/hotel were like a few hundred bucks at the time.

No part of me can imagine any vacation or temporary amenity that adds up to be worth $14,000 even if you're rich. Like, would I spend $500 to use a solid gold toilet one time just to say that I've done it? Fuck no, that's a huge waste of money.

I believe in either saving money or spending it on tangible things. I have some very, very rich family members who don't over-spend on vacation. In fact, most of their "vacations" are mission trips and modest visits to exotic places that only cost a couple of thousand at the most.

I literally cannot imagine a trip for two people and a baby over the course of 8 days that adds up to being worth $14,000. Even with daycare services, "free" food, and a personal butler that sounds like an enormous amount of money.
