Since we moved to Europe, we are traveling a lot. While our trips are organized with budget in mind (going places off-season, staying in cheap hotels or apartments, traveling based on airfare specials, etc.), as far as number of trips, we are sparing no expense. It's important to us to take advantage of our time here, and after a brutal few years prior to this, we want some enjoyment and adventure.
But I can't help but think that the trip to Morocco, for example, probably could have bought us 2-3 months of retirement once if had compounded for a decade+. And that makes me a little crazy. I don't feel bad about the expenses, exactly, but when I look at it like that, I do feel a little conflicted.
Anyone else do this?
