AITA for choosing to spend my bonus on a community project instead of a family vacation?

I recently received a significant bonus at work.

And my family was excited about planning a vacation together.

We have not had a trip in a few years.

And I understand how much they were looking forward to it.

This man wanted to be involved in a local community project.

However, I have been passionate about a local community project.

This project aimed at improving our neighborhood park, which has been neglected for years.

It includes new playground equipment, landscaping, and creating a space for community gatherings.

I believe it could really bring our neighborhood together and make a positive impact.

He decided to donate a huge portion of his bonus to the project.

After discussing it with my family, I decided to use my bonus to fund a large portion of this project.

Instead of going on the vacation.

I thought it was a good way to contribute to something meaningful, and I felt strongly about it.

I did suggest that we could still take a smaller trip later or even have day outings together.

Now, his family was upset and demanded that he prioritize their vacation.

But my family was disappointed and felt let down by my decision.

I genuinely want to help our community, but I also value my family’s feelings.

They think I should have prioritized our vacation.

Meanwhile, I am proud to invest in something that benefits everyone.
