Agree, it is tough transition for people that have been frugal all their lives. We just recently got over this mental hurdle.This is indeed hard. We could afford business class now, but after a lifetime of being smart with money, it's so hard to just WASTE it..DH has been urging me to fly business class to my country of birth for my twice annual visits - it would be greater than what my parents spend in a year. I feel conflicted and reluctant.
Because it really does seem like a waste...
Business class is almost an entire another 10-day vacation.
But, really, we could afford business class for this vacation, AND take that other 10-day vacation, so it's really not a choice between the two.
But man, it just seems wasteful. I hear you.
Especially since most of our trips involve a red-eye flight, it's a nice splurge.
A quote I read somewhere, probably on this forum, said something to the effect that "either we can fly first class, or our kids will". We are spending some of their inheritance.
