I LOVE IT! Not because I am a travel advisor, but because it says something about the change of mindset of a generation that was taught about the value of hard work, commitment, and building a legacy for the family.
Today, what happens when your financial legacy is not really necessary? What if the kids are building (or have built) their own legacy in triple the time it took you to grow your wealth and stability and maybe have more than you in the bank?
Why just sit on the porch and wait to hear from neighbors, "Bob and Linda" when they return from their African safari, European tour, and journeys through Asia and the Pacific to tell you what these places are like? Why save as much as you can so that you can pass on your hard earned wealth to your children and grandchildren (whom you love dearly) so THEY can travel?.
What about the life you have left? If you still have breath in your body and you're in good or pretty decent health, why not travel a little yourself?
This is a different age we're living in and though we go through ups and downs economically, somehow, in some spectacular fashion, we all make it through. Today there are more and more choices for work for each generation born. Even with the threats of AI changing our job economy, I believe we all will still find a way to thrive and survive being human in this highly technological age.
So, please go and take the vacation that you've been eyeing. I don't care if you book with me or you book it through the internet. Just GO!!!!!
I promise you, your kids building their own legacy of wealth and your grandchildren building theirs in their early twenties and late teens, will survive AND thrive. 😉😂
Go put on a pair of shades and throw up the peace sign to your kids. Here's to SKI-ing!
Sincerely,
A Gen Xer with a lot of respect for you,
Tia M.
