Ever noticed how some friends fly to Iceland or Switzerland while others stick to Southeast Asia?
It’s not just about wanderlust, it’s often about wallet size. Look at their travel stories and you’ll get a sense of what they’re earning. It usually goes like this:
-
$10k/month and up: Antarctica, Kenya, safari lodges, once-in-a-lifetime treks
-
$9-10k: USA, Canada, Brazil, Argentina
-
$7-9k: Australia, Maldives, New Zealand
-
$5-7k: Europe, from Spain to Switzerland
-
$3-5k: Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan
-
$1-3k: Southeast Asia like Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia
But here’s the real question: why do we wait all year (and spend thousands) for just 14 days of rest, when we could enjoy calm and comfort every day at home?
Why a Rocking Chair Might Be a Better Investment Than a Holiday
A trip can easily cost around $5,000 when flights, hotels, activities, and meals all add up.
But what if you could bring the same sense of peace into your daily routine, for less than a tenth of that cost?
That’s where rocking chairs come in. Today’s designs are not bulky or old-fashioned. They are sleek, compact, and surprisingly therapeutic. A rocking chair gives you the comfort of rest every day, right in your own home.
