<prompt> Human: My father lives on the other side of the world. I do not have good relationship with him and I have only seen him once in the past 7 years since my parents were separated. However, he is currently in his 70s and his health seems to be deteriorating. I recently had a dream that he died before I had a chance to see him again and since then I have been thinking to visit him next summer when I have a few weeks of break.x200B;However, as a med student in the US, I basically live off of student loans and I am already in debt for over 100k. The round trip ticket not including hotel and cost of living to his country is 1000 and financially it is dumb idea to spend that much money on a trip. I also dont think it is ethical to spend student loans on a trip.x200B;I know this is not a pure financial question: Assuming I have leftover on student loans, shouldcan I visit him next summer?  <response>: I would think it better to do it and regret it that it would be to not do it and regret that. Do it for yourself. Do it so that no matter how things play out you can always be secure in knowing that you tried to do the right thing.
