Depends on how you live. It's expensive to visit Israel. The grocery store can pack a wallop (we're a family of 6). If you travel to Europe you'll spend to your last dime. Staying at the resorts is expensive. Housekeepers/nannies aren't free. But if you like to adventure out, take day trips, eat local, walk/bike, follow a guide-book... you'll do just fine. - Jul 2014
