[quote=Anonymous]No, unless there are external circumstances (elderly family member in poor health or something similar), vacations should never make you go into debt that you cannot pay off with existing funds. Especially when you have other outstanding debt that is not going to be paid off. However, you cannot use this as the excuse if you are not willing to go on the trip if someone offers to pay your portion. That is just going to get you caught up in the lie. When that happens and you try to squirm out of the vacation anyways, then it make the family relationship even worse because you clearly lied about the cost being the reason you won't go. Either you are willing to go on the vacation if cost were not an issue or you have to find a different excuse (or combination of excuses) that put together come up with a cohesive reason to decline. Do not hurt your family relationships even more by using the moving goalposts of avoidance. [/quote]
