<prompt> Human: Okay so Im finally making decent money relative to what I earned throughout all my other jobs, Im 22 and I have my finances in order. I dont have any debt and Im managing my expenses with discipline. Ive spent the last few months being very diligent in my retirement investing and making sure every dollar has a budget. My family is in the final stages of booking a cruise that will cost me almost 2000 for this November. All of my family members involved are in debt, but Im not. I am trying to warn them that they may have trouble even affording this vacation, but they arent interested in listening. The price for the cruise will cost almost 1500 but will likely run me 2000 when its all said and done. Again, I have no debts and a small savings most of my assets are in a ROTH and brokerage. This vacation will likely hit me the least hardest, but Im having trouble parting with such a large amount of money for just a week of vacation. I cant help but feel like Im being a cheap bastard though. My sister is leaving for the Marines a month after the supposed trip, so it will be our last family get-away for a long time. If they go, Im going to go as well. Am I being too stingy? I read a lot of other posts on this sub similar to my situation so I just want some feedback. If I am in the wrong, feel free to let me know. I am excited for the trip but its just coming at a big cost. Thank you guys!  <response>: My family is in the final stages of booking a cruise that will cost me almost 2000 for this November. All of my family members involved are in debt, but Im not.

Sounds like everyones mind is already made up and all yall are going on this trip.Spend the next 2 months saving your cash so you have a bit more of a cushion for the trip for after you come home from the trip.
