So I'm staring at this $2,488 Paris package right now flight + hotel, 6 days, November, from Houston. It's the hotel I actually want. I've wanted to see Paris since I was little, and I've never seen a deal this low for what I'm getting.

But it drops my savings from $10k to $7k. That's a $3k hit. I do live alone in my bills will be paid before I take this trip alongside PTO

I know nobody can decide for me, but I keep going back and forth. Is draining a third of my savings for a childhood dream reckless or worth it I don’t know if this makes any difference but I am 25 years old so I also feel like I should enjoy my youth because I work hard? Has anyone here taken a big savings hit for a trip and regretted it or not regretted it?

Genuinely need outside perspective because my brain is spinning on this one.
