    What qualifies as reckless though? I mean, I needed to use my CC for a German vacation. I don’t have $3k idly sitting around.

    Seeing the world and going on vacation is a necessity, otherwise what’s the purpose of life?

      I would say depends on how often you are taking $3k for vacation and how long it takes to pay it back. If you are taking vacation more often than you can pay back, then that’s reckless.
