Though let's be honest, $10k is hardly out of reach for.....anyone. If that's something you really want, you can get it.

- pjlegato 11y agoI'm not sure if this is a troll, or just someone who is massively out of touch with how most people live. Median household (not individual) income in the US was 51k in 2013.[1] A 10k vacation to Europe is indeed out of reach for most of the population of the US.

- ktRolster 11y agoIf you can't save $10k while on a $51k income, you have serious money issues.
- damon_c 11y agoFor example, one such issue might be that you just finished putting a kid through 4 years of college.
- pjlegato 11y agoYes, that's the point. Most households in the US have what you call serious money issues, and cannot easily save 10k on a 51k income. They need almost all of that money for living expenses. When they do save up some money, it's an emergency fund, not a European vacation fund.
- sanoli 11y agoDon't forget, it was 10k in 1990.
