The worst is when they try to motivate others.

The smart move is going to all of those places during non peak times.

We never did anything like that for Spring Break, your family should be able

We did absolutely nothing.

I don’t know why but much of Utah has a “keep up with the Jones” mentality. Good luck with that.

Its not just a Utah thing, it is everywhere.

I’m not sure why people think that only exists in Utah.

In some areas it is worse. It seems bigger in the Utah or California than the midwest IMO.

Imo it's primarily demographics and where people live. Utah and California are both young states and

Social media evens this out a lot. You surround yourself with the same people

Its more of a problem in Utah and among mormons than anywhere else.
Backcountry

It's easy to compare yourself to someone who is just like you in every way
LargeTalons

Why do people think this is specific to Utah?

And if you only knew how many people go into debt for those trips.

I don't recall ever going on a vacation over spring break. Either with my family growing up, or with my own kids.

I grew up on a farm. There was no such thing as spring break

I would just tell my kids that we aren't rich like them. Same for everything

Many of these people who go on expensive vacations say they don't have money

Gloating and flaunting money or experiences comes from a place of insecurity

Your kids need new friends if that's the only way they can be happy.
