Hi
I am from a very far away country and last time I have been there was 2008.
I have been saving a lot to be able to go there, my husband has never been there and my daughter went with me when she was a baby, now she is 6.
Tomorrow I am going to an agency to sort out the tickets but I am freaking out.
If I am luck the tickets will not be more than £3.600 but although we will have accommodation, we will need pocket money to do some stuff.
Plus my parents are divorced and live in separate cities so we will need money for domestic flights.
So we will basically spend most of our savings on this holiday and start from 0 again...I have around 8K in the bank, should I keep it for a deposit on a mortgage??
We are working class but I am self employed so set my own hours and rates and save hard. I will be there for 30 days.
Dh is in a non professional career and looking to change jobs. He has only 16 days holidays left.
I will reduce my working hours from September because I am studying and and the work I do is affecting my mental health as I am not enjoying it.
We don't drive, we pay rent and don't have luxuries...should I go ahead and have this holiday anyway or just do something cheaper and keep the money?
