I totally agree.
I don't think I've ever been to an all-inclusive resort, at least not in my working memory.

And when over 90% of Americans plan to travel this year with half prioritizing vacations over other financial decisions, it makes sense that if you're reaching the top of your budget to vacation, that you would want that number to be locked in.
In fact, to make it happen, 17% of people say they would go into debt for a vacation, borrowing an average of $2,500.

The inflation rate during the year is 3%.
Which statement is true?
