'Should you go on holiday while in debt?'


Poll started 22 June 2009:

Should you go on holiday while in debt?

A family with total earnings of £35,000 has nearly £15,000 on a credit card (at 6.8% life of balance). They’re slowly chipping away at it, but are still five years from debt-free status.

Yet they haven’t been away for two years and are desperate for the guaranteed sun and a bit of the luxury of a foreign holiday, which would push off substantial repayments for a long time afterwards.

What would you suggest they do?

A. No holiday until debt-free. Then life gets easier anyway.  
 23% (3471 votes)
B. Camp in the UK. It's dirt cheap but still a break.  
 45% (6836 votes)
C. Cheap overseas break's fine. After all, the debts aren't that costly.  
 21% (3203 votes)
D. Time for a treat. They’ve been good for ages.  
 10% (1520 votes)


Total Votes: 15030
