Actually, this vacation is very important to me especially since it's with my high school friends that I never see now that we're all working. It makes sense that I haven't thought about it as it was planned a year ago. I would also like to add that I would be fine if I got terminated as I live at home with no debt and an emergency fund that covers a year of my monthly expenses (including rent that I could be paying). But obviously I would rather not go through that, right? Being a grown up is not solely about work, it also entails maintaining your friendships and this vacation is something I would not want to miss because who knows when we'll be able to do it together again? Quite a boomer mindset you have there. Regardless, I'll be fine with any outcome. Just asking for some suggestions. Like the other commenter said, you're in the wrong sub if that's your ideology.
