Not all families could afford family vacations.

Then when I was an adult, working PT and going to school, I didn't have the money nor was able to take time off.

No, you aren't alone. It wasn't that I had no trips but it was very, very, very few.. I recall one visit to Oxford, UK, but that's it.. My parents were not rich, didn't have a car and then when I grew up, same as you, I was too busy and not enough money.. then in later years, I have just been too busy and worked places where I couldn't take time off..
