You could be a miser but you also have to think of the "run over by a bus" scenario. My husband and I are frugal but we travel. We rationalize it by saying 1) we are young and healthy enough to truly enjoy it with out health limitations. We've met too many older people in our travels who can't do certain things (e.g. long hikes and climbs) and 2) this might not even exist in the same form once we are retired and 3) once we have a kid the vacations will not be as frequent and will change. I guess you have to find a balance...live for today and tomorrow. I think you’re spot on. You could be a miser but you also have to think of the “run over by a bus” scenario.
