Even an extremely cheap trip to Europe with $300 airfare and $30 a night for hostel will end up costing you quite a bit (or your family).

My parents lent me the money. I had a lot I had saved up in the bank ahead of time, and I paid the rest off within a year or two of getting back. I realize I'm lucky in this aspect.
It's like S&S said... my parents brought me up to believe that experiences are worth more. Sure, we may all drive old clunky cars and not have a lot of material things. But if you give up eating out once a week or those new shoes or something like that, the money adds up. I know people who have saved their pocket change for two years and have been able to afford nice vacations. If you want to do it badly enough, you'll find a way.
