A friend's dad has cancer and is currently being treated. Each chemo therapy let's say costs 200,000 (where the monthly salary of a bank manager may be around 50,000 per month as a basis to accomodate currencies). She's having depression because of her family's situation: not enough finances for her dad, dad acts up by being a brat, sister coming home from abroad, mom stressed by the dad's brattiness, she wants to get married etc. And then, she plans on taking her savings, and go to let's say a tourist island to have a vacation which would cost around 9,000 per person. She has been confiding in me a couple of weeks ago that they need money for her dad's chemo and that the medicines and special food are costing them a lot. They have taken loans and friends have given some money.
I told her I found her decision on going on a vacation in bad taste. She says she deserves a break. Is this the right decision?
