So you want a vacation during your vacation.
For many years in my early single days, after I bought my first house I was spending all my income on the house, and the cost of living there. When it came to vacation time, the boss would just write me the checks for my vacation time, and I kept coming to work. I went several years with no real time off, but Sundays. I shot a wedding almost every Saturday. In the Spring, sometimes two weddings on Saturday. Finally I got ahead of the bills and raised my priced to shoot a wedding to $5,000 for the consultation, and photos were extra. So far no one has wanted to pay that price so I don't shoot wedding anymore. I may have to double my price soon. I really don't want to shoot another one.
Looking back, I bought a house too early and at the bargain 12.5% interest rate, the wrong time. It worked out well with lots of hard work, but a single person buying a house is hard.
