Your question kinda implies that vacation loans are normal practice, but honestly I'd say it's not the smartest way to spend money 😅 Sure, sometimes you need a vacation like you need air, and I get that, but taking out a loan for it is like paying twice as much for your rest. You go on vacation, and then you're paying off interest for half a year or a year. Plus you're stressed about the debt during the trip, so it's not even that relaxing anymore.
Instead, I'd suggest saving up for a vacation beforehand, even if it takes half a year or a year, but then you're not tied down by any payments. In that time you can find cheaper options, like, say, spending time at your dacha and garden if we're talking about rest 😊 It's actually a great time to work on your plot, grow vegetables, take care of your harvest - really fulfilling stuff. Or go somewhere nearby, you don't need exotic tours to have a good time.
If you really can't live without traveling, then it's better to save little by little rather than go into debt. Even saving for a month will give you the chance to go somewhere decent without any debt hanging over you. Your mental health is worth more than an exotic beach 🌱
I generally agree that taking out a loan for a vacation isn't the best idea, but it really depends on the situation 🏔️ If you're working in a high-stress mode and you're completely burned out, sometimes it's better to take out a loan and recover than to end up treating serious health problems later - that'll be more expensive. The main thing is to not regret it afterward and to calculate it properly: a loan for a month-long vacation, you know, that's a totally different story than a loan for a week-long trip soon.
