Life advice--- Spending too much $$$ ?

Gday all, quick briefing... I'm a single 23 year old male from Australia who currently lives at home with my parents and works a low paying job even though i have a university degree in communications. I'd earn about $35,000-$40,000 a year. And I still owe about $10,000 on uni payments lol.





Now my ultimate goal is to one day have a nice family and a nice home. And really just a job that pays alright and is enough to get by with some added extras lol.





In my heart though I've always wanted to see the world (different from travelling the world because travelling means experiencing more than just getting a glimpse of something)... so right now I'm at a crossroads and need some help decision wise and some advice please.





I have about $50,000 ---enough $$$ to put a deposit on a house and pay off my Uni debts... but i have a yearning to see the world so my plan is to take $20,000-25,000 and visit Europe and US for 3 months and just go wild and have fun because in all likelihood i'lI probably not be able to again.





So is this a good idea or should I leave my seeing the world until later in life and put $$ to a house or compromise and just go to either US OR Europe?? Would spending $20,000 on a holiday be too much?





Any advice and help is much appreciated. Cheers. (BTW spending that much is probably over estimating though lol)Life advice--- Spending too much $$$ ?
Pay off your university loans and go travel the world. When you have children and a family it will be harder to do so!Life advice--- Spending too much $$$ ?
I would pay the uni.


Work another year and plan the trip well.


Do the trip.


And then pay the house.

I would suggest you pay your uni loan off and take $5000 and travel the Philippines for 3 months. Many beautiful places to see and the people here are friendly and english speaking. Besides the women here are gorgeous. Maybe staret with a week or 2 in boracay and go to other places you can pick out at www.wow.philippines.com





Spending $20,000 on a holiday is way to much and you can still have a great time in other places way cheaper. Many Austrailians visit here and I know a few who married a philippine gal like me.
