I occasionally hear that a lot of Americans don’t take all of their vacation and I just don’t understand. When I worked in corporate America I took all of my vacation every year. I think there was only one year where I left 4 hours on the table. Take Your Vacation, even if it’s just a staycation.

Like I once read, the only people who are going to remember that you didn’t take all of your vacation is your kids.

Spend the time you have available on your relationships and your experiences and you won’t have regrets in the winter of your life.

Some companies allow for a certain amount of vacation buy back (or at least they did back in the Stone Age). Sometimes money matters more than time. Use vacation time *if* possible. It’s good to recharge. How that *time* is allocated by you isn’t any of my business.

I did when working for a company that would take any left over vacation time away at the end of the year. It's stupid not to. I worked as a sole proprietor for almost 30 years. All vacation time was unpaid and hard to plan out.

I take all my vacation & sick leave. Hell, I even take the unpaid leave which is 1 day per quarter.

I worked for the state so got lots of vacation hours. The longer you were there, the more hours you got evey month. I took a lot and accrued a lot because we didn't lose them and they counted toward retirement allowing me to retire early.

We would lose them if we didn’t use them so I made sure I used them.
