I hear ya about vacations...My girlfriends parents were both very succesfully in companies/industry that benefitted during the tech boom of the 90's and early 00's. On top of a huge combined salary, the mothers company would book rooms in hotels outside Disney for employees to go to for vacation. Fortunately, they are a smart bunch and saved enough...but the "1 big vacation a year" is heavily heavily ingrained in my gf and her sister because they did Disney every year, cruises to Bermuda, Myrtle beach. Her mother has taught them "you need to treat yourself to a vacation, something to look forward to." Meanwhile my folks took my brothers and I camping once a year and even that stopped by the time I was 14. It's honestly tough for her to understand that while I now make good money, I can't and will not a spend a stack of cash to go halfway across the country once or twice a year. Other than that she is smart with money and supportive of me paying loans, but vacations man, some people cant live without them.  Oh yeah and to contribute I know a kid who overdrew his bank account in high school to buy decals and spray paint for his dodge stratus, that was awesome. poo poo like a new shifter knob and a car bra. The best was when his sister inherited it and it promptly broke a fuel line under the hood and went up in flames, all in front of a store security cam.
