• going on cruises every year

    Cruises every year?

    Bruh I don’t think I even ever had a real vacation since I came into existence.

    The only plane ride I’ve been on was the one-way flight to immigrate to the US. Literally still haven’t been on another plane ride ever since then.

    The only boats I’ve been on was the free ferry to/from Staten Island (NY, USA)

    That one time I went to Six Flags is only because relatives invited us (and presumably paid for it)

    (I mean my parents are better off now than before, but still, busy and have no time… also now it feels wrong to talk about vacations as a (young) adult)

      I know what you mean. When I was really young my parents took us to Florida to see our great-grandfather a couple times and that was the closest thing I had to vacation for a long time. The past couple years my wife and I have had a couple of long weekend trips to cities we can drive to in a couple hours, but nothing extravagant. Well, except flying out to Boston for a wedding, but I would have preferred to opt out of that.

      Seems everyone I work with, my parents, my in-laws, friends, everyone goes on cruises. I honestly think I would hate it even if it were free. People dropping a few grand real casual just to binge drink for a week. I could do that for like $200.
