[quote=Anonymous]People work jobs for different reasons and people have different financial goals. For instance, some people work in order to be able to spend money and enjoy life now. Some people work to save money and invest in better things and enjoy live later (like retirement.) Some people really want a great vacation to enjoy their families and relax; some people want to spend money on a nice car; etc. There isn't a right answer. It's just how you see life and the purpose of your money. I'd try to have a neutral conversation about financial goals. Prioritize those goals as a couple. If enjoying vacations now is a high priority, spend the $4K. If the result of that conversation is that you really want to save money to have a large cushion or save up to buy a second home, then you both are on the same page to spend less on vacation.[/quote]
