Visiting family for hybrid employees

Hey there,

I am a fresher who started working at a company with hybrid work policy. I have been seeing many people from my company, as well as friends from other companies, who visit their hometown quite frequently.

Now, I don't have a problem in meeting the family, but what I have been wondering is, that nowadays the flight tickets are so expensive (mind you, many of them live in North India), so at what frequency should one visit their hometown?

How do you find the right balance between managing your finances and making time for your family?

Most of all it doesn’t feel like as if the time passed so quickly.
