Both me and my boyfriend had parents that never took vacation in good or bad economies, always waiting until things "got better." Now that we're living together, we make a point of doing something every year. People chide us that we're not paying off debts as rapidly, but seriously, if we pay $2,500 total for one full week away plus a couple of 3-4 day vacations, and $30,000/year in principal off our debts, I'm going to enjoy the heck out of that week so I can keep grinding on those debts. That time away is so refreshing and rejuvenating, and even if we decide to go nowhere, it's nice to not come home and still be thinking about work when we do. A year later, I’ll weigh in!!
