As I was taking stock of 2015 investment and spending results in other threads, it occurred to me that I should also take stock of the experiences I "invested in" during 2015. You can have awesome life experiences without leaving your couch, but travel, highly valued by many retirees, might be a good metric to track and reflect upon, as well as set-up goals for 2016.
In 2015, I spent 119 nights (17 weeks) away from home. For me, that's a jaw-dropping number. 32.6% of 2015 traveling!
This calculation might not be apples to apples for those that winter in a different place (ie, have more than one place you call "home"), vs those of us that have one spot to call home. As a guideline, let's say if you feel like you are "traveling", then it counts.
