You save for the things that matter. This is something that matters.

While you rightly point out that to many people, $1100 is the cost of a mortgage payment, it's also worth noting that to many other people, $1100 is how much they spend eating out for three months, or on coffee every day. I have always thought that you should be able to spend your money in whatever you want as long as it matters to you and you can afford to do so. To some people, it might be a new flat screen TV to watch games on with family; to you, it's a great vacation with your husband.

I hope you guys have a wonderful time!

Memories: Priceless

🙂 It's always good to splurge sometimes.

I completely agree with your philosophy! That also is exactly why I am so careful in my day-to-day life: so that my vacations and off time can be absolutely fabulous!

I never feel guilty about spending money on traveling: the experiences and memories are so much more valuable to me than the 'things' that I could buy instead in my every day life.
