One month before the first tastes of spring and one month after the widely hated “longest month in the year,” February often comes with mixed feelings…or gets overlooked entirely. But what most people don’t realize is that it’s actually the perfect time to travel – since most people don’t realize this.

Whether you want to chase the sunshine across the world, or enjoy the winter’s last bits of snow, there are plenty of fantastic February destinations to capitalize on when the rush of tourism, and all of its expensive prices, are still down.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Let the sun shine. Malaysia has incredible food and surprisingly great shopping bargains everywhere, but Kuala Lumpur is where you’ll find the best beaches in February. Even their cities focus on nature, with urban sites like the Lake Gardens and Bird Park (with more than 3,000 birds and opportunities to feed them). Truly a paradise!

Saint Lucia

This eastern-Caribbean island is warm all year, so February is a great time to take the opportunity. With white-sand beaches, a rainforest, sulfurous mud pools, waterfalls, world-class diving, and the Pitons, two volcanic peaks named Gros Piton and Petit Piton – you’ll never want to leave. The month of February also includes their Independence Day, celebrated with parades, festivities, and the island’s national dish, “green figs and saltfish.” The island even has its own chocolate heritage.

Madrid, Spain

Though not as warm as the tropics, Madrid is truly a city with unlimited indoor splendors to enjoy; you’ll never want to leave the city’s museums, restaurants, and other popular sites. Several carnivals also happen in February to take advantage of.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

The history, culture, people, food, beaches, and resorts of San Juan offer everything a vacation could ask for. Plus, after the devastating 2017 hurricanes, much of the island has been renovated – without the spike in prices. But the city’s cobblestone streets still date back around 500 years, and there are many historic churches, homes, forts, museums, and cafes to celebrate still standing. Not to mention, its beautiful oceans, ideal for swimming and snorkeling, are priceless.

Perth, Australia

When you see winter, Australia sees summer! Head to Perth for an incredible and diverse taste of this Australian metropolis while the weather’s still warm.

Telluride, Colorado

While you’ll find many other expert skiers and snowboarders here catching the last powders, that’s not all there is to do like in some ski resorts: try riding fat-tire bikes or snowshoeing, too.

After January, it’s easy to slump out of all that new year cheer. But get your February vacation in, get a smile back on your face – and get your New Years’ goals back on track!

Rich kids have their own basic tantrums. They expect their parents to give them access to certain kinds of luxuries with the snap of a finger or the drop of a hat.

In fact, sports cars are quite a common purchase when it comes to rich families and their kids. Do you know what we got for our sweet 16? An ice cream cake.

It can be somewhat overwhelming for rich people to cut their living costs short. This guy shares that his aunt was married to a super wealthy man for about 15 years.

However, the husband passed away and left much less to her than she was prepared for. Apparently, he was influenced by the caretaker. Now, how is this OP’s aunt supposed to survive on two million dollars a year?! Ugh, the travesty!

Do not trigger a rich uncle or aunt. This guy shares his experience of meeting his girlfriend’s wealthy aunt. They were hanging out in her giant house. After looking around for some time, the OP noticed she had got some really tall shag rugs in a couple of the rooms.

Instinctively, the guy asked how she manages to vacuum these rugs. Why in the world would someone with so much money clean their own house? That’s just silly (sarcasm intended)!

Presents are wonderful strings between grandparents and grandchildren. While most of us get candies and cookies, this girl shares that her friend’s boyfriend was gifted a home from his grandmother. The problem? The house didn’t even have a pool!

She appeared to agree and believe it was unjust. We couldn’t agree more. What is a house without a pool, at least when your granny is getting it for you?

Rich people are allergic to doing dishes. Do you not believe us? Check this out — this OP got a temp job to work at a sorority house dinner. One of the sisters dropped off her dirty plate.

While doing so, she looks at the OP before turning to her friend to say that she “could never have a job like that where I had to touch other people’s food.” Oh, what a privileged life you’ve lived, honey.

One downside of being too rich is, they never seem to understand their friends. This guy shares that his insanely rich friend called him in the middle of the week to inform him that they’re going to Cyprus together for two weeks.

All he needed was to confirm the ticket. It took him an hour to explain to his rich friend that he has certain responsibilities and so, he couldn’t possibly leave in the middle of the week.

We think sometimes rich people make weird commitments without thinking it through. This guy shares that he was working in a company. During a meeting, one of the owners of a company asked, “Wouldn’t it be cool to get everyone a new car for a bonus?”

When the finance manager actually showed him the total cost, he responded that he could afford it even if the company could not. Surprisingly, no one got a new car for a bonus — what a bummer.

Rich moms present their children’s mishaps in the most adorable way. They can be so playfully funny. This woman was shopping at a store when she began complaining that her son landed his helicopter in their backyard — and apparently, this completely destroyed the lawn.

They had to pay the landscapers to get the yard fixed. What a tragedy! Can you believe that? We feel sorry for the shopkeeper having to keep up with all of this while packing up her order.

Having rich friends can be troublesome sometimes. They don’t seem to get or understand you at times. However, what about friends that’d make fun of you for not having as much money as them? This woman shares her own situation.

It’s no secret that teachers don’t make a lot of money, despite the fact that their job is so important. Anyway, one of the OP’s rich pals used to make fun of her in front of her other friends about the salary she got as a teacher — that is, until the OP rightfully ended that friendship.

What do you think a real job is? This OP shares that her friend dated a really rich guy, who apparently had $27,000 of “fun allowance” for the week.

However, the problem is, he didn’t understand why his boyfriend couldn’t just up and leave to jet off to England for a weeklong vacation.

This OP shares their experience on a forum that they used to frequent years ago. On this forum was a guy who clearly came from a wealthy background.

He was so convoluted that he even admitted that he has no sympathy for anyone who doesn’t always have $20,000 on hand to cover emergency expenses. How wild is that?

Sometimes, rich people come up with the most bizarre ideas or solutions that will actually blow your mind. Some even keep suggesting that homeless people should just buy homes so that they would no longer be homeless.

We wonder why any of the politicians didn’t think of this. Would the world not become a better place if that was the case? We could all just buy a house with our nonexistent funds!

Sharing your plans with rich people can be demotivating in many cases. With a pompous tone, they could make your plans sound absolutely ridiculous.

This guy was trying to tell one of his customers how he wanted to celebrate Burns Night — a celebration of the life and poetry of the poet Robert Burns, the author of many a Scots poem. Of course, the OP was one-uped when his customer revealed that she did a Burns Night in a Scottish castle. Casual…

Sometimes, rich people are way too fascinated by the lifestyle of slightly middle-class families. This girl shared that she knew a woman from an exercise class who’s so rich that she’s under the impression that the OP is really poor.

So, the woman was very fascinated to have made the OP’s acquaintance; it’s almost like an adventure for her. Now, she obviously understands what life is like for the less fortunate… obviously.

Most bosses act as if their employees have a fortune resting at home. This lady shares that her former boss once told her to hire a car service to get to work faster — plus, she could also avoid human contact during the pandemic.

Apparently, this girl was in her early 20s and was getting paid minimum wage. And so, the poor OP had to politely point out that it would cost her over $800 per month to afford such luxury. We hope the boss understands the problem.

Kids these days are way too privileged with technology. Their parents give access to them too quickly and so, kids almost confuse these gadgets with nature.

This woman shares that she works at a private school where the students are given their own iPad when they enter kindergarten. The kids use them all the way up to sixth grade. It turns out one of her fourth-graders thought that everyone in the world is just given an iPad when they’re born. Must be nice!

There are some kind-hearted rich people who like to volunteer or work in social work. That’s amazing. However, even though they keep in touch with reality, sometimes they seem to be completely lost.

This guy shares that he had a co-worker who worked but didn’t need the money. Once, in a conversation, she found out this OP only has three figures in his savings. She was completely shocked and couldn’t figure out where all his money went!

Most people fly the nest after school. This is pretty common practice, at least in America. This OP had just finished studying and was considering a part-time unpaid internship rather than full-time — so he could have time to work a real job and save up money.

To this problem, the professor’s great suggestion was to ask his parents for help. We mean, of course, his parents probably just have extra cash lying around… like most people, right?

People can be surprisingly careless about the things they say. Some just say whatever comes to mind without even thinking. This girl shared that her doctor advised her to get private lessons at the gym since public lessons aren’t allowed with the restriction policies.

After all, what else is this OP going to spend her money on? Well, apparently, rent and bills are non-existent — along with phone plans and medications.

You will hear some people say — money is only valued because we make a big deal out of it, which is kind of a funny sentiment. Money is no object to this longtime church member, though.

And so, when an issue was brought to light at “the annual parish meeting,” the rich woman simply solved the problem by shelling over $11 million.

Carrying loose change or coins is kind of a hassle sometimes. You might lose them, as they’re quite difficult to keep track of if you don’t have it all stored away somewhere. However, money is still money.

This girl shares, one time, she went to a free movie with her wealthy freshman-year roommate. On their way, the rich roomie had a handful of coins in one hand and popcorn in the other. She didn’t have any pockets and so, she decided to throw her extra change in the trash can — until the OP stopped her. So, are coins trash to her?

Among the five basic needs of survival, money is not listed. This college-going girl once dated a rich millionaire’s kid. While planning for a holiday, his family wanted her to join but, as she was only in college, she didn’t earn enough to afford the trip.

Her boyfriend’s father then offered to lend $50k but was shocked over the fact that she didn’t have any assets to even liquefy!

Generally, college-going kids get $25 to $50 weekly as an allowance — if they’re lucky. Some kids even have to work their way through college. However, here we have a Veruca Salt from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to talk about. A college freshman shared her experience while moving into the dorm.

She heard another lady freaking out over the fact that her mother was only giving her $200 weekly! According to her, that’s merely enough! You’re living in a dorm where the food is already paid for. What other expenses do you have?

What’s the worst birthday present you ever received? We’ll tell you the weirdest we’ve heard of. It was a weird showpiece of a banana. However, this girl’s birthday gift couldn’t have been any worse. She got a 360 Ferrari spider on her 18th birthday from her father.

However, guess where it went wrong? She got a “yellow” one. She didn’t want yellow! How could her dad make such a big mistake? Yes, you heard us right. This girl’s worst birthday was her 18th because she got a “yellow” 360 Ferrari spider! Ugh, dad!

Parenting is difficult. It gets even more complicated when you have to deal with other parents that think they’re above you for one reason or another. This guy had this ridiculous experience in the office when his daughter had just been born.

His work colleagues asked if he had started applying for schools yet. Apparently, to get into some of the more exclusive private schools in the UK, you need to apply as soon as your child is born. This is a true story!

A common way to make and cherish memories is by writing initials on walls, trees, or big rocks. When it comes down to making memories, all that matters is the memory and the souvenir, right?

While this OP and her then-boyfriend spent some time together at his mother’s childhood ranch, she realized just how rich the family was — so rich, that as a child, the mother chiseled her initials into the front parlor window using none other than her… diamond ring.

The world is filled with modest people. They never want to overstate their current condition. This person here claims that they’re “middle-income” people. If you look closely, you’ll see they make around $130,000 a year.

However, the median personal income in the US is around $30,000. So, if they’re calling themselves middle-class with those kinds of earnings, they’re definitely not from this planet. As if their economy is equivalent to the mass on Earth.

Waiters are the best storytellers, as they have to deal with so many different types of customers — including rich people that say or do the most ridiculous things. This guy shared that, once he got a $10 tip for a bill of $300. Well, it goes without saying that this is absolutely ludicrous.

When the wife saw that, he told her husband that he was too generous and the waiters were going to be well off for months. We know it’s common courtesy that when you wait on someone, you nod and smile. However, we wouldn’t be surprised if this waiter spits in the soup the next time.

Tough, logical, spoiled, and full of complaints all the time — all these qualities in one person! This guy was dating a rich girl who had her own house, and didn’t have to cook or do household chores.

Still, she claimed to know and understand the struggle of not getting things in life. Contradictorily, she’d throw $10,000 on a massage chair but won’t support buying a PlayStation because, obviously, she will be needing matching clothes!

How many of you envy Iron Man for the huge wealth his father left him? Honestly, we do! Just think about this — whenever you’re out of money, simply take some from your parents. Cool, no? So, this guy asked his friend to wait until his payday to go out for dinner.

His friend was utterly shocked by the fact that whenever he’s broke, he has to wait until he gets paid. Why doesn’t he just ask his parents for money? Life isn’t always that simple, pal!

Why buy a car if you can get premium transportation using Uber? That too without spending as much. However, what if you’re spending more on Ubers than you would if you had your own car?

This VP of a company once disclosed that his daughter spends more than $1500 monthly on Uber. Instead of this huge amount of Uber bill, his daughter could simply ask for another car designated solely to her instead! Come on — that’s the least her dad can do for his beloved spoiled child.

We feel bad for spoiled rich kids. Their hearts are way too fragile. You can upset them over anything and everything. Take this story, for instance. This OP shares that her wealthy ex threw a tantrum when he didn’t get a custom-made guitar from his parents just a week before he crashed his new car.

Meanwhile, he also had six other instruments lying around. We’re sorry for this little boy. It must be tough to hear “no” from parents, especially when you’re a grown man.

Having children isn’t always a good idea. They’re a lot of hard work and a lot of stresss. These are well enough reasons, but here’s another to convince you further — this guy gave a kid a ride home one day in his car. It was a much older car.

The kid was super confused by the center console. Apparently, he had never even seen or heard of a car that didn’t have a rearview camera.

This guy shares that his local sub banned indoor dining due to the current restrictions and holds. And so, many people have resorted to cooking at home or ordering in. Take this couple, for instance.

When they were asked why they’re buying so much takeout, their defense was that they’re missing both of their vacations this year. And this somehow makes up for that…

There will always be people who are either underdressed or overdressed for an occasion. Once, a boy was out having lunch with his rich aunt and her friends. We don’t think there’s any need to say this, but he was clearly dragged into this scam.

His aunt’s friends wanted to take pictures and one of them suggested “the help” in reference to the OP, not realizing that he was her friend’s nephew.

Rich people get a lot of things they don’t deserve. Money brings power. This guy was bragging that he’s guaranteed to get into the Ivy League college of his choice because his family donates $250,000 a year.

There are people without any education smarter than this guy but he still got into the college of his choice. Life is unfair to a lot of people — but it seems that rich people live their life with a cheat code.

A woman who holds on to her heritage and culture with an explicable taste is definitely a woman to be admired. However, not every woman’s sense of culture is the same. This poor guy accompanied his aunt to go shopping.

They spent a nice time together while his aunt bought stuff from several boutiques. Unfortunately, he can’t afford to waste money on a pair of $400 shoes. Apparently, the OP’s aunt found this highly offensive.

Parents fight over budget issues all the time. It’s a common story in every home. What do the couples fight over when it comes to budgeting issues? Whether to buy a new fridge or a new oven — what’s more important?

Out of nowhere, this elderly couple began fighting over a budget issue — specifically about what kind of private jet they can afford to buy. Oh, rich people.

It’s sometimes very hard not to throw some people overboard when on a cruise. This lady asked one of the crew members how “the help” lives below deck. It’s quite astounding just how out of touch some of these people are.

A grown-up girl doesn’t know that the word “help” is an inappropriate way to refer to the crew members. Maybe there are some exceptions in terms of who you can and can’t throw overboard?

Coddling a child can go to the extreme. It starts from the very childhood and continues forever. This OP discusses a friend from middle school. They were discussing what they each wanted for their first car. According to Miss. Richy Rich, she thought $50,000 was cheap for a car.

Since her dad was going to pay for the car, she didn’t even know how much a normal car costs. Think about how spoiled this girl is going to be when she grows up. Coddle with extreme caution, people.
