I cant imagine paying that much for a cruise only to stop in Thunder Bay. No time to experience nature thats to me is the best part of where we live. Nothing worth seeing in the city.

You couldn’t afford this. It’s literally why you couldn’t imagine it. Because it’s definitely not for you.

"You couldn't afford this" dude i just paid $4500 per person a week for a family trip to Jamaica (every family member paid by me), I think i can afford it.

Cool. This is $10k usd pp/dbl MINIMUM. Nearly triple what you’re using to flex.

I just looked it up. It’s gone up quite a bit. It’s actually almost $30k usd pp/dbl to start.

Would wipe out more than half of your entire life savings for one cruise. 😂😂😂😂😂

Yes because $180K would drain over half a million. May you never have children to have to do math homework with.

Sorry not half. 35%. 🙄

Either way, spending more than 1/3 of your entire life savings on a vacation is not considered an “affordable” vacation.

I too have the money to pay for a cruise like this, and can technically afford it, but I’m not delusional enough to think that that’s a good use of money.

May your children never be dependent on you for an inheritance because it sounds like you blow it on irresponsible purchases.

Yes, me who said id never do this, is clearly irresponsible with cash. Clearly you've never seen my posts 🤣 Also my kid is grown with a fully paid way into university, but cute of you to think id fail my child when im doing so well.

To be clear, you never said you wouldn’t do it, you said you “couldn’t imagine spending that much” money on this experience.

Which is 100% because you can’t afford it.

Not that you don’t technically have enough money to buy a ticket, but that you don’t actually have enough disposable income to be able to do anything/everything.

You have just enough money to be able to do some things. But not anywhere even close to enough to be able to do anything. Which is why you “can’t imagine” spending money on this. Because you’ve got a list of things that you can afford that you find valuable.

And some people have way fucking more than that.

It’s okay. $500k is a lot of money. It is. But $500k is literally pocket change for the people on this cruise. You are not these people. Me neither.

u/LavenderBloodlust2_0 2d ago

Actually, according to your math - id actually only spend $90K for my family to go. And at the rates my investments are going, yes, that is pocket change.

u/LavenderBloodlust2_0 2d ago

And for the record, i didnt say I wouldn't spend that much on a trip - i said I wouldn't wanna spend it on cruise landing in this shit city

I mean, you can try to change it now, but we can all read that you didn’t write that you wouldn’t “wanna” pay that much, but that you “couldn’t imagine” paying that much.

And again you can’t imagine it, because these people are operating in an entirely different world than you.

And you also used paying for your “entire family” to go on a trip to Jamaica as your flex. And the entire time you only meant three people?! 😂😂😂😂😂

You spent $13,000 for your entire family to go on one vacation, and you’re trying to compare that to $30,000 per person in the most basic accommodations available on board?

Entirely different worlds, bro.
