<prompt> Human: Long story short, my wife and I have been wanting to go to Thailand for a long time. Her grandparents and her mom lived there for 5 years as a military family back in the 70s. Shes grown up seeing pictures and hearing stories for years, and weve always had a long-term goal of traveling there someday.Earlier this year, we hit a psychological goal of crossing the 100,000 net worth barrier, and have surpassed it even a bit more since then. Heres some other quick facts: Im 29, shes 31 No kids! We make about 55K a year combined after taxes. Were in a low salary cost of living area in the U.S. We save generally 1,000 or more a month, which goes into savings and investments. We have no bad debt, just our house mortgage and a few thousand left on our student loans.That said, is it a bad idea to drop 4 to 5K on a trip to Thailand? Weve investigated it and have found some good deals in late October for a weeklong trip for that price. Is it a bad idea to go ahead and go now while were young, or should we wait a bit longer until were more financially established?By the way, Im posting this from a throwaway account because some friends and co-workers are aware of my normal account, and I dont necessarily want them knowledgable of my finances.Thanks a bunch!  <response>: You sound similar to my wife and I. We did a trip to Japan in April that cost us a pretty penny, but I regret nothing. Were still doing fine. The pictures and memories have an exponential value with the dollars spent on the trip. I might have 3K more in the bank if we hadnt gone, but I wouldnt have experienced a new country and expanded my world view.GO DO IT!
