Am I foolsih for spending $1,000 to take a vacation now?

I live practically paycheck to paycheck but haven't takena vacation in almost two years. However, I work for the county of California but I'm told that once the fiscal year in July, our jobs may be in jeopardy or that at least there's a possibility. I waas planning on using my tax return money and some of my money from a 2nd job I have. Should I hold off? Or should I go for it? Honest opinos please (if it ehlps, I'm single, yet I'm paying off a car, have school loans, and some credit card loans as well)
