The answer is simple, I save money where I can so that I have money to invest and to enjoy my life. If you can make it through your 20s with a decent amount of savings and life experiences then all the power to you.

Unfortunately, it can be hard to get to thanks to the embargo and flying via Canada or Mexico can add to the cost significantly. I totally agree: take a vacation even if you're poor. The experience is worth it. Just figure out a way to do it without going into debt. Cuba is on the very top of my list.

I don't want to be a pain, but I question your numbers. $20 a week is an actual burden for some college students. Of course, that's likely because of the decisions we made when picking school (public vs. private universities, community college or not, luck of the draw when it comes to parents and financial aid...). Still, $20 a week is 3-4 hours of work for me, meaning it's 20% of what I make. I am probably not the only one that can't give up 20% for a vacation.

Granted everyone is in a unique situation when it comes to finances and we have all made different choices. Some of us have our education costs covered and work part time for entertainment money while others acquire everything with credit cards. I am just trying to show those people who spend $20 a week on lattes, beers, pizza, etc. that by holding back a bit you could stretch the money pretty far. Everyone has different wages and different hours they are able to work so it is extremely difficult to write an article that is applicable to every single person. As always this is just my opinion and I respect your opinion and the opinions of all of my readers.
