Are holidays worth it?

so many friends tell me how

they have booked "a fabulous

holiday", admitting they can't

really afford it, but saying they

"need it".

We all need an annual break,

of course, but booking an over-

extravagant holiday usually

means that for 50 weeks of the

year one has to make cuts,

economies and sacrifices. And

all for just a "frantic fortnight"!

It's a classic Catch 22 situa-

tion - people run themselves

ragged all year to pay for the

too-expensive holiday they

probably wouldn't have needed

if they hadn't run themselves

ragged all year!
