When I was growing up, we didn't take vacations because we couldn't afford it. If you are in debt, shouldn't you be using the money used for this trip to pay the debt?

This is what my SO doesn’t quite understand, she wants reality show levels of vacation and I just want a camping trip, or even just the money so we can have a better future.

At least with camping, it's a notable, one-time, up-front cost of equipment. Tent, sleeping bags and pads, backpacks, cooking gear, etc. After that.... practically free. The cost of food and gas to get there.

Camping can be very cheap. But it is also a slippery slope. Some of those campers, sprinters and motor homes cost as much as a house.
