Ok, so this is just my opinion (and you can take it with a grain of salt considering I'm in a high paying job and have nothing saved because I am still paying off credit card damage from college), but I really think you should go. You will really not enjoy knowing Chris is off having fun without you. I think that your peace of mind is definitely worth the money.
And in the end it's only money. You're young and will only be young once. I'd say figure out a payment plan with your parents and then go to Greece. You'll absolutely regret it if you don't.
My parents have sold nine apartments/houses since I've been born, and they are starting to enter a phase of possibly selling BOTH the house and apartment that we have right now and moving into an entirely new place. It's spanned three towns and two boroughs of NYC. So my situation in terms of "house attachment" probably couldn't be that much more different than yours. But still, when my mom mentioned that they were starting to think of moving on again, my heart sank and I got the "attachment blues." I totally understand why you feel the way you do. For me at least it's not even about it being "home" because for many many years now (could it be more than ten?) I've located my home elsewhere than where my parents lived. But there's something about the place where your parents are - it's a respite, a comfort, a safe haven. For you it must be only that much more of all those things for having been located in the same place your entire life. I don't think you're being anything other than normal and reasonable, with your emotions.

I definitely wanted to cry my eyes out when my mom decided to sell our house this summer. In fact, I did. Many times. It's funny how a structure of wood, brick and concrete can hold so many memories and feelings. I refuse to even drive by my old neighborhood anymore, and I still get pangs of sorrow when I see my old exits off the highways. It's funny how we can move out, live on our own, but still want nothing to change when we come back for visits! I hope that you can feel just as comfortable in your new house as your old. I'm so glad your job is getting better...just think of what an amazing experience it is going to be for you!!
