[QUOTE="upserslady, post: 466980, member: 9550"] The reason for the sellout of vacation is because we take one big vacation a year. My husband takes days here and there if needed for anything else. 6 weeks vacation a year is alot. Some people may opt for that. He sells the other weeks since 1) we cannot afford to go on vacation 6 times a year. 2) having time off is nice but who wants to sit around for a week with nothing to do 5 times a year. (Any projects we have going on around the house are done on weekends and weeknights or we pay to have them done while we work) He has been with UPS for 25years this March and we both have great paying jobs. To User Name - We have everything we need and most of our wants so we have no reason to live above and beyond what we make and can afford. We both have worked hard and saved money all our lives. The money from the sell out goes in to a savings for our children and a car fund for our 12 year old. That way when it is time for her to get a car it will be paid for. I do understand some people in our society tend to live one check away from poverty but I think you were wrong in hinting that maybe that is why he sold his vacations. I wish UPS would not make the employees pick out vacations so early on. I makes it really hard to makes hard to plan that far ahead with 1 in college and another in middle school that is involved in athletics year round. His center makes them pick vacations in October for the coming year. I also wished that you could take vacation in days instead of weeks but hey --- I am just happy he has a job. [/QUOTE]
