Once you get kids and a mortgage, you really get huge returns.

So if you want to go overseas for 6 weeks you have to sacrifice holidays for three years for them to accumulate?

Most companies in the US won't all you to take 6 weeks of paid vacation. You'll have to take 2 or 3 weeks of your vacation time and apply for a non-paid leave for the additional weeks.
Australian programs is much better. As you get a minimium of 4 weeks off and when you take a holiday, you get an extra 25% to you pay. The increase is probably do to the fact it costs you a fortune to fly from Australian to else where in the world.

Most companies I've worked for won't let you take the 2 weeks you are 'given', anyway. You just end up having to take it in untaken vacation pay at the end of the year. I haven't taken a vacation since 2001.
