re: #107 teleskiguy

I hate that assumption. It is expensive to travel. Most people are just treading water to survive. It’s not ignorance, it’s financial insecurity for most people. I’d love to see the world, it’s not possible, it just isn’t. After taxes and employer health insurance, my husband brought home less than 35K last year. Tell me how we’re supposed to fit travel into the budget when there’s a mortgage, car payments, food, utilities, etc. I have no money to bet, but I’ll bake you a dozen cupcakes if it’s not true that the vast majority of people would love to even see their own country but are stuck at home just getting by. Please don’t assume we’re just ignorant and fearful.
