Travel or Clothes

We travel a lot and I asked my dad "Why do we spend more money on travel then we do clothes?" For instance we could spend $30.00 on a dress or you could go to Chanel or Gucci and buy a dress for $3,000.00. My dad said we do not buy any expensive clothes because we could buy 3 dresses from chanel and it would cost  $9,000 dollars or we could go to Tuscany Italy for 3 months. Whether  I spent $30 or $3,000 dollars on a dress I would grow out of it in 6 months. But when we travel, I know that it will last a life time.
