Expensive Holiday Regret

[greentu]

DH and I are saving towards a deposit on a house. We are fairly frugal day to day.

Booked an ‘adventure’ holiday for 10 nights that will cost us around £2,500 each everything included. This is almost a full month’s salary!

It started out as a good idea and we didn’t quite realise/grasp how much all the little bits would cost. Now I’m left regretting the spend!

Oh just enjoy. You only live once. Have an amazing time then live on lentils for the rest of the year.
Honestly you’ll love it when you’re there and it will do you good physically and mentally.

Oh I'm jealous enjoy and worry about the money another time. Live life

Life is for living. Travel and experiences like this will bring you joy, crack on and don’t think about the cash

unless it's refundable I'd go and have a great time, and lentils are flexible and delicious, so you'll also have a healthy rest of year!

You’ve booked it now so just go with it and enjoy it.

It is a lot but you’ve been living frugally so deserve a bit of a treat. We did a big trip to New Zealand when we were saving for a house and we got on the housing ladder still. Just enjoy it :)

I agree with PP - saving is important but so is living. This sounds like the kind of trip you wouldn’t be able to do with small DC or when you are older and retired so now or never is the time. Enjoy.
