I was a rather highly paid consultant at a young age with zero debt to my name out of school. Therefore, I was fortunate enough at the age of 22-24 to be able to afford random lavish vacations (Cannes, Prague, Miami, Vegas, etc) and lived in Germany and NYC for some time. I would do the whole "bottle and models" type gig every once in awhile, although barely part of my regular routine. There is something about being a geek in those settings that is, hmmmmm, I don't know, rewarding?
