[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With seemingly everyone who has one gone from their main residence right now, anyone else feel this way? Be honest.

Because honestly, this week I can't stop feeling "poor" (not literally, relatively) because we don't have a place to escape to. Relying on whimsical invites to friends' and family vacation homes at this point in our life just feels so low and desperate. I don't care how much or how little financial sense it makes, we need a second home. I'm so over being trapped at home all year, fishing for invitations, or even renting for a week at a time. Perhaps this is the precise feeling that motivates so many to buy a second home?[/quote]

When Covid hit we immediately saw people flocking to their second homes...As soon as summer camps were canceled, we freaked out and started looking for a 2nd home as our primary home is tiny and we have 3 kids so thought we would lose it at home. We got lucky and bought a place 2 months into the pandemic for a relatively low price near the beach right before the 2nd home market exploded. Yes we have to drive there, clean it, maintain it... but we honestly feel it’s worth every penny and we still get excited every time we travel there. It’s not for everyone, but it was 100% the right decision for us and could not be happier. [/quote]
