Heck, I've been on three international vacations in the last year, and I have plenty of friends who have done even more. If you're in the US it's easy (and not that expensive) to fly to some random European country for a week.
The deferred life plan isn't just about taking international holidays, of course. I have the freedom to jet off to random destinations at the drop of the hat because I don't have a wife or kids; I've deferred that aspect of my life in favor of another one.
You gotta defer something. You can defer the kids or you can defer the globetrotting lifestyle. You can defer the freedom and job satisfaction or you can defer the material wealth.
