Across all income levels, Americans that do not make time to vacation with friends or family end up with a significantly lower Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index scores. The index takes into account individuals' sense of purpose and strength of social relationships, financial security and physical health. With even those earning less than $24,000 a year scoring higher than those netting over $120,000, it seems that the desire and ability to vacation with loved ones correlates with having an overall more healthy and fulfilling life.
