[quote=Anonymous]OP, you made a choice to spend money on buying into a "better" school district.  Now, you want the better schools (with a more expensive house, presumably) AND you want the vacations too.  That's the thing... you made a trade off (i.e. school + house in exchange for not having as much disposable income).... and now you want the disposable income too.  That's not how trade-offs work.

You get to pick:  either spending more on housing (with good schools and less money for vacations) OR saving money on housing (with less great schools and more money for vacations).  You knew you couldn't have both sides of the coin.

Take some day trips (i.e. Sandy Point St. Park, a spa day for $200 or less, a nice dinner), and enjoy what you have.  Take time off work if you need to.  But, it is unwise to put $3000 on credit for a vacation that you won't be able to pay off in 2 mos.  After you take that vacation... 6 mos. will go by and you'll want to take another vacation... it'll just pile up.[/quote]
