Let me help you with some math and logic. If 52% of people have flown in the past year and 70% of those flights were leisure then 0.52x0.7 = 0.364 or 36.4% flew for leisure in the last year and 63.6% did not.

Presumably the 2/3 who didn't fly for vacation also didn't spend 3000 and change which is hint just what a bank told you it should cost not how much people especially poor people are actually spending. There is a massive disparity between the haves and have nots in America.

Tldr: they aren't living paycheck to paycheck because they spent 3000 they are doing so because shit is expensive. People also aren't poor because they eat too much avocado toast.

Chime essentially a bank tells you how much the average vacation ought to cost if you can afford to take one not how much each person actually spent. Nor would you expect spending to be even. If my boss spends 10,000 and I nothing it's less than useful to say we spent an average of 5000.

If out of 10 people 5 take no vacation and stay home 2 spend 1000 and 3 spend 5000 then the average vacation would cost 3400. 17,000 / 5 . Poor people aren't poor because they fly to Hawaii.

You seem to have a lot of trouble with this.
