Travel or save the money?

[Sai111394]

I will have about 5 k saved up by the time I start medical school in the fall. I’m thinking about traveling around Europe for a month, but I’m not sure if I should save up this 5k in case I need it my first year in school. Thoughts?

$5k is like $1m to me right now.

I am tapped out after this app cycle. Go have fun while you can because you won't have the time after school starts. I would go to OZ if I didn't have all these CCs coming due.

I would save it, but that's just me. You never know when some unexpected expense is going to crop up.

Do it. 5k is a drop in the bucket compared to the ~180k in debt you're about to have, assuming you'll be taking out full CoA in loans. That's not always a great mindset to have, but sometimes it's worth it.

Orrrrr you can go to Europe for ~2wks.
Still get to travel and you don't spend your entire 5k...Best of both worlds

Travel to celebrate but don't go spending all of your money.

The correct answer is to save the money.

The right answer is up to you.

Experiences are worth having. But the security of a nest egg is important to well-being also. Find a way to do both.
