I disagree. This is NOT the time to go into debt and teach your kids poor spending habits. This is the time to tighten the belt and make due with less. Hey, I'm not saying don't camp. I am 34 with a wife and kid and we camp all summer long. We are both teachers. But my truck and trailer are paid for. Yes, I took a loan out for both but both were paid for within a year because I bought used but in excellent condition.
I don't buy the whole, this is the time while the kids are young.
If my financial success is based on a camper payment then it really does not matter. We could choose to stay in cabins @ $150 a night. 3 nights $350. 3 nights camp spot $50/ night is $150. That leaves $200.? Hmmm a camper payment.
To each his own I guess. Oh I teach also. 12 months at local high school. Yes 12 not 10.
I don't want to look back & think I wish I had .....
