The food bit is most accurate, but for slightly higher end fare.
idk how to even spend 12.5k on a vacation. and I think a basic car is more like $30k new, if not less?
Cruises (a traditionally cheap way to have a “resort” experience and “international” travel) seem to cost $1100-$2000/person for a week. That doesn’t include alcohol or anything you do on island, so you can probably add at least another $1000 if a family wants to “live it up”, that makes a family of 4 cost $5500-$9000. The hotel at the beach closest to my hometown that we used to visit in the summer is $175 a night now, so assuming two rooms, $200 food budget per day, and another $500 for entertainment that gives $4350. Both of these are going to be cheaper than Disney vacations or Euro-trips. Obviously these vacations were never affordable for majority of the working class, except maybe once in a childhood, but just wanted to provide a few anchor points.
Damn, that’s like a wildly different life to me. I’m planning a holiday and its getting a lift with someone else, packing a few cans of soup and some beer, and its maybe 3 days of camping.

round trip first class international flights?
I would have to imagine a family (4+) at a resort otherwise it would just be crazy excessive

An out of state trip for a family of 4 to Disney can reach that pretty quickly over a week.
The cheapest new cars are about $30k (Corolla). If you’re talking midgrade like a Rav4, you’re closing in on 50k
godamm
A week in Disney World for a family of 4 is absolutely close to $10-$12k. 30 years ago that same trip was probably $2000
