In less than a week's time our Australian family of five is setting off on a big adventure.
We're taking our two older children out of school, and we're heading to Europe. My husband is Scottish and we've always wanted the children to experience that half of their cultural heritage, and while we're over there we're also planning to visit Paris, London and Amsterdam.
This trip may sound wonderful, indulgent even, but is it also financially negligent?
By the end of the six-week trip we would have spent tens of thousands of dollars. Would this money have been better invested in some way for the children? Or perhaps put towards a deposit for a house? After all, we are renters.
