As of this moment 100% of comments have to do with “I guess other people have a lot of money”. Very weird thing to be concerned about.
Personally I didn’t care about the eclipse until recently. Then I realized then when the next one happens in North America, my son will be in his 20s and I will be in my 60s. I got the idea that it will be cool to (G-d willing) see that one together and remember how we saw this one together 20 years earlier.
It happened to be that we had family we can stay with in the path of totality but even if it cost me an extra few hundred to do this, I would find it a good use of funds.
