Hehe, yes. Thats pretty much the point I'm driving at too. That theres often a difference between something we "can't afford" and something we actually cannot afford.

Of course I consider prioritising food and shelter over the holiday, and prioritising a flash car over a holiday to be two very different situations. In the first instance, if the holiday money is being spent on those things, then I would say that person actually cannot afford a holiday.
