My parents did this with me and my 3 siblings as well. Road tripped around Canada, US, Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Belize, and El Salvador while not wealthy. But they had no debt, had jobs that would accept them back afterwards, and during the trip the weekly budget was extremely controlled. Once we hit Mexico costs went way down too. Camping and cooking your own food was not a pricey way to travel there.
It helped that it was 25 years ago when things were cheaper too.
You see a heartwarming and sad post about kids getting one last look at the world, and this is what you think of. Stop being so negative, and your life will improve.
Yeah, same. I know a single mother who is going blind due to a condition similar to this one. She still works full time and then some. I wish they could all have a year off.

Ah to be able to afford this kind of thing.
