[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Planning a birthday/belated honeymoon to California next year and budgeting for first class. We have kids, we have debt, but life is short and I want to fly first class, dammit.  We work really hard and are on the right track so wtf.  Some people need to live a little![/quote]
That's OK to pay for this experience in celebration but it sounds wild to me to do that while you're in debt!!![/quote]

Yes, it is rather stupid to do that. [b] Most likely they will still be in debt and not on track for retirement or college savings in 5 years with that financial mentality.[/b] Once kids are college age, they will complain about being "donut hole" family and how it's just not fair they don't have $100K+ per year for college per kid and "how could I have possibly saved for that on my income"[/quote]

Oh FFS! (NP here.) If you don't relax just a little, you may never live long enough to enjoy your retirement. Have a great time in California and enjoy that campaign when you board the plane, PP. [/quote]

It is definately that mentality that gets people to be at the "donut hole" stage and wonder how they got there.   Go on the vacation, just do it in economy plus and save the $1K extra and put it towards debt.  It's a 5-6 hour flight, not a 24 hour flight to India/China. 
Most financially stable people cannot imagine flying first class when you have debt and young kids (and all the expenses that will come with them).  You can enjoy life within a budget
