    I find this odd to believe though.

    Census.gov reports over 12% of people in the States are poor (38 million people).

    The NPR reported that half the population can’t afford rent.

    A good chunk of the rest are able to afford it, but unlikely to have several thousand laying around for a trip.

    A vacation doesn’t have to be extravagant. A good chunk of U.S states have PTO even and driving to Arizona isn’t that extravagant anyway.

    I guess it depends on what “vacation” means. In the context of this article, it seems like this lady actually travels for vacation.

    If we mean visiting the local beach as a “vacation”, we’ve really been screwed over by wealth hoarders.
