Thursday, September 11, 2025 at 8:01 PM

A new survey reveals most Americans throw their usual rules out the window while vacationing. Results show 56% ignore budgets entirely during trips. Nearly half say calories don't count while away from home. Two-thirds eat out for every meal on vacation, with 23% having dessert each time. More than half snack more than usual. Financial discipline suffers too - 54% rarely stick to budgets and 46% use credit cards more frequently. Work responsibilities get ditched as 49% avoid reading emails and 59% skip normal duties like exercising. Technology use drops significantly with 19% avoiding social media completely. Most don't feel obligated to return non-emergency calls or texts, with 63% considering responses optional. (Story URL)
