[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m shocked how many of you are willing to take care of a second or third home. It’s all I can do to take care of the one I live in. I could afford a vacation home, but the S&P 500 doesn’t need cleaning and maintenance. [/quote]

+1. Plus I love not having to clean or cook on vacation. I’m staying at a nice hotel where someone is refreshing my sheets and towels. Owning the place I’m vacationing in would take the fun out of a vacation for me. [/quote]

There are house managers and cleaners for that, to be perfectly frank.[/quote]

I hear you but, even if I had a whole team of people there, I still don’t really get the appeal of going to the same house over and over. If you have the money to fully staff a vacation home you could do so many more interesting things with your time. [/quote]

And again, those aren’t mutually exclusive.  The same people who hire house managers and cleaners for their vacation home are also doing ski trips, Europe, Caribbean etc.[/quote]

Ok, but you do realize that only a tiny fraction of people can both afford all of this AND have the time to do all of these trips. Also, for me, it's not just about having the time off of work, no kids with social lives, etc, but the desire to leave your primary home so often.

I also can wrap my head around people who live such apparently fabulous lives but then... Killing time on dcum?[/quote]
