Hopefully by next year you'll be debt free, and your purchases won't have to weigh as heavily on your mind. Just my $.02.

I agree with this. I'm not going to judge you because it's your money and obviously you should do with it what you like. However I will admit it's not what I would have done. I have a major aversion to credit card debt, so that would stress me personally out more than old furniture would. But that's just me. Just keep plugging away on your debt and enjoy your vacation!
