🌴 Team Clark Survey Results |
This week, we asked if you’ve spent more or less on summer vacation this year and why. Here are a few of your responses: |
John in Iowa: “Much more! The cost of food, gas and hotels is up significantly. My wife and I used to spend $25-30 for a nice dinner. Now that same dinner is closer to $60. Hotels that used to cost $150 are now $250.” |
Evie in Georgia: “More. Because airlines charge much extra for selecting seats [compared to the past], hotels for room rates and [there are] plenty of surcharges for everything else.” |
Jeff in Georgia: “We spend about the same amount of time vacationing and will make adjustments to how many times eating out vs. eating in or the number of and type of attractions we see or go do. Spend is relatively the same.” |
John in Kansas: “We spent much more. I got a very small inheritance. My wife and I are in our 50s and we’re not empty nesters. … We decided to make memories and have experiences [instead of spending on] material things. We spent a week in Alaska and had the most wonderful time. Our vehicles have over 200,000 miles and still work. I’d rather travel than replace them!” |
Patricia in Georgia: “Could not afford vacation. High inflation requires careful planning to pay for essentials.” |
