> I don't have a US perspective, but someone who spends $1600 a month after rent in the UK is either financially suicidal or well off enough that they probably aren't fucking around with this sort of nonsense, they'll just pay for the holiday.
$1600 / month after rent is $19k / year. Add another $1500 / month for rent, and you're at $37k / year, hardly an insane amount for someone to be spending in the US.

$37k/year is over 60% of gross median household income in the US. It is absolutely insane to be spending that fraction of income if you're including only disposable income, food, and gas in that amount.
