I'm not sure how I feel about that. One could easily say our vacations are at the expense of DD's college. Even though we do fund a 529, we could put even more in if not for vacation spending. We could also invest more for retirement if we didn't take vacations. So you could say the vacation money is at the expense of money for other things that some may feel are more important. As usual, I guess it all comes down to priorities and we consider travel to be a priority in our lives.

Again, my answers are all hypothetical because we are fortunate and don't have to choose one or the other. If I was actually in that situation, I might feel differently.
