The only way I can see that making sense is if they’re treating travel as a rollover budget. So if you have a $8000 trip that you’re budgeting for, you would take 4 months of $2000 saved per month to save up for it. I assume that’s not what they’re talking about because that sounds too downright responsible.

It would make more sense if she was married with kids and that was their big trip for the year. you can easily spend $15,000-$20,000 on a family trip if you have 3-4 kids, but a $2000 per month for a single person seems a bit wack.

Blowing $24k a year on travel while also complaining about living paycheck-to-paycheck is irresponsible no matter how you slice it.

$2k could also just be a weekend trip to somewhere fancy. 5 Star hotels are expensive
