It’s been a little over 10 years since this thread. I’m older and have the benefit of some more hindsight now so my perspective has changed.I don't know but... this could have been a wise purchase. Did you enjoy it ? Will you remember it fondly ?We took vacations in 2005 (Greece) and 2006 (Paris) that we really couldn't afford at the time. We were newly married back then and weren't really thinking very clearly about the consequences of spending so casually. At least we got to see some interesting places, have some memorable experiences, and learned to make wiser financial decisions so some positives did come from it.
I certainly don't remember the wood floors, granite counter tops, new roof, furniture, and auto's I've bought over the years.
Wishing you the best.

Burt, in case you happen to see this, I just wanted to say that you were right. Many years later, I do have fond memories from those trips and I believe the experiences were worth it after all. While I still don’t think the decision to go on these vacations was the most prudent thing to do at the time, I also think that prudence can sometimes be overrated.
