Part of having the ability to go other places is where one spends money here. I don't have a big truck, or even a really new car. No big boat and trailer. Some of my coworkers had huge ocean-going boats, antique (and well restored) cars and so on.

Had a discussion about hunting deer in WA or out of state. Dude spent just as much in WA over a couple of years and he would spend on a once every couple year trip outside. His point was that he could spend $100 a weekend no problem but couldn't save that same $100 for use next year.

Choices.
