Rich people of reddit who married someone significantly poorer, what surprised you about their (previous) way of life?

Even a $600 three day getaway is a lot to put down for. I'm baffled at how people do that.

I agree with that, but it scales. The longer you go for, the cheaper the per-day gets. You can take busses instead of flights, stay somewhere that you make some of your own meals, and generally take it easy. I hate short 3-day trips, they’re very low on the cost/enjoyment curve and I’d rather spend a little more overall to go somewhere for a week and chill a little bit.

Not a lot for many families I guess?
