[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remember - it's experiences like vacations - not stuff -- that contribute to a sense of happiness. Plus planning for the vacation also boosts your level of contentment because you are thinking about the vacation. I think you are doing just fine, OP. Plan those vacations![/quote] So long as you aren't going into debt or putting your retirement at risk, I think "splurging" on vacations is wonderful. Psych studies have shown that experiences have a longer lasting impact on our happiness than things. I happen to think that it is a healthier message for your kids, too. But that is probably because that is how I was raised. Modest house, one modest car. Cool vacations. Limitless books (which are kind of like instant vacations to some of us).[/quote]
