<p>I think it is great to save and plan ahead. BUT, we have probably spent more money on family vacations than we should have. When we added up all the money we spent on vacations we probably could have funded couple more college tuitions. Now both girls are almost out of the house (2 more years), what we have are some wonderful memories we’ve had as a family. I would say to OP - it’s great you are planning ahead, but don’t worry about it so much that you forget to enjoy what’s along the way.</p>
