When my kids were younger (theyre now 17 & 18) I took out a loan to pay to go abroad, so we had about 5 good holidays, plus other bits and pieces. Now, since I won a holiday to Turkey about 7 years ago, weve been nowhere. My marriage is a mess and my husband insists on trying to pay off our debts asap, in other words theres nothing to live for right now. Were finished anyway, but Im just interested to know would you rather have the good times and then spend life in poverty for 3 or 4 years to get debts paid down or would you continue to have a holiday each year, knowing each time you did it, it would take you about, say, 500 years to pay it back? Im with the "do it today, you might not be here tomorrow" brigade, why practically give up your life to repay debts which have horrendous interest rates anyway?
