IMO as someone who grew up poor and cosmetically not now (I don't have a mortgage, I rent, I don't drive but I have a good amount of disposable income)
If someone genuinely was desperate at MOST they should expect a lower tier holiday(or as you call it vacations)
As in, growing up a holiday if I got one was in a small chalet or caravan, and parents cooked proper food rather than go out to restaurants.
A good holiday would be rather than cook for ourselves paying for half board, and being able to get a train to local tourist sites, and in later years i'd add for me personally if I wanted a night out I could get a taxi home.
If I really wanted a good holiday, rather than wait for one of the cheap months of the holiday seasons and find more more local, id pick one at other end of the country that normally may take say 8-10 hours by public transport and spend like 2 weeks there. I would still look for deals though.
Expectations and reality are different things
Going back about 11 years ago I remember someone actually having a heated rant about how that meant instead of having 3000 to spend for a fortnight "spending money" they only had 2000.
2000 is about 6 weeks income for a person working minimum wage NOW, and back then it was about 8 weeks income.
lol you so obviously did not grow up poor in the US
much different experience
