In the past, family vacations were events that families looked forward to and were usually once a year events but in this day and age, due to the rising cost of living, family vacations or any vacations at all are almost unheard of because most young families are always struggling for money and saving up every extra cent they have in case of a medical emergency and also for their children’s college education that they have doubts they will be able to afford. Most of these young parents are busy working long hard hours in a struggle to earn money and rarely take time off work because every bit of money matters in these hard times. Even when they do have the opportunity to take a break, these parents would take their children to a place like their grandparent’s home or somewhere else that is away from home but is not exactly a vacation.
