What would your life be like, if every year you took a vacation to new destinations around the world? Our parents, and our grandparents waited year after year saving money for the right day, right season, and right year to take a vacation.
People in the United States get the least amount of time off, and yet when they do get time off, they wait till retirement to do the things they can do today. Life is shorter than you think. One day you are alive, and the next day you don't get up, your life is done.
Here's a great article on Forbes about Americans and vacation time-off, by Tanya Mohn, "U.S. The Only Advanced Economy That Does Not Require Employers To Provide Paid Vacation Time, Report Says."
The only perfect time to take a vacation is today. We come up with reasons why we don't take vacations, we rationalize our existence, and we sell out our big dreams of seeing the world and living the life we deserve, and for what.
Top 3 Reasons People Don't Vacation for GOOD
1) I don't have the money. With crowd sourcing sites abound FundYourTravel.com, Gofundme.com should help.
2) I don't have time. If you are working 50-70 hours a week, it is only a matter of time before you wake up, and you realized you aged 20 years in the last 3 years. Whose life are you living?
3) "I can't leave because the kids, I can't leave them behind. And I can't take them; because I need a break." Why don't you take a vacation where you and your kids can spend quality time doing things together, and developing relationships that matter.
