To put a dream holiday on a credit card - even though I can't afford it

[Notcool1984]

Would I be crazy?
Reeaaallly crappy year with health issues, family stuff, kid dramas.
I've always dreamed to go to a particular long haul destination.
I have around £2k saved, but realistically need around £2K more.
Would I be mad to put it on a credit card?
As background, I have no credit card or student load debt. I earn around £3k pre month, although single parent, but still £500 savings per month is doable, so it would take up to 6 months realistically to pay back.
Would you risk it?

You take yourself (and your family) with you. There’s no such thing as a “dream” holiday. You’ll waste your money.

A holiday within your means without all this burden of expectation will be a far more effective and relaxing time.

No better reason than this OP! And of course there is such a thing as a 'dream' holiday @EveryWitchWaybutLoose I know many people who have been on theirs.

Have you booked it @Notcool1984 ?

Depends on your net worth.

E.g. if it's £100k+ then suppose you could if you really have no patience to wait.

If it's less than maybe £30k then you shouldn't really be going on a £4k holiday in my opinion.

On your salary, I would.

be careful on your timing to Thailand as you don’t want to hit the rainy season.

Haha still swithering tbh!
