[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There have been several studies that suggest having experiences make you happier than buying things. Travel is an experience. Do it while you are physically able. You have the money to pay cash now, and then rebuild your reserves for things like summer camp. Put the expenses on a rewards card and make it work for you. In the grand picture, $3k is not that much. I bet you can identify Things you can cut back on throughout the year (new clothes that look raggedy after a few washes, shoes you'll wear a couple of times and then forget about because they're not that comfortable, convenience foods with too much sodium, etc.) that actually don't bring happiness to your life. You'll get those savings back in no time.

Go on vacation, make those memories, and really ENJOY it. THAT is why you work. To enjoy life. [/quote]

That happiness can disappear quite quickly if you have trouble paying your rent/mortgage when you return.  Not worth the grief.  You don't need to travel far to create experiences.  That's a myth.  Save it for when you have the cash to afford it.  [/quote]
