<prompt> Human: I have four student loans that total around15000. I have been paying them off steadily since 2011. I have 5000 in checkingsavings. I have no other debt.I have not been on a vacation in years and only one vacation in my adult life. My new job been there 7 mos actually has paid vacation!I want to take a vacation with my sister next year early 2019. It will be around 10 days in DC and Id spend around 3000. Id like to take a vacation but I feel guilty about spending money that could be put towards loans.  <response>: Yes. See what you can do about keeping costs to a min, but do it. I have NEVER had any regret about travel. Dont let this hurt your regular finances or create credit card debt, but dont let student loan debt destroy your quality of life.
