No one sees a family of 4 taking a trip to Disney for a week and says "wow" you guys are loaded. Even though 4 1-week Disney tickets =$1200
There's a misconception that foreign travel is expensive. Even if I didn't use miles, and flew coach it is pretty amazing to me that most areas of the globe can be reached on $1,000 and in under a day. Once you land everything costs less than half as much as it does stateside.
Just stop taking photos of the first class seats and meals and posting them on FB. No one even knows my wife and I fly business/first on our trips.
