[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No second home for me. I’d rather take that mortgage and time and travel the world! [/quote]

I'd rather build equity in a second home than leave photos to my children and grandchildren (which they'll just put in boxes in storage) from travel "experiences".[/quote]

This is how we feel about it too, with our second home, where we will spend the summer because we can't travel anywhere.  Traveling holds less appeal to me than it used to because there are fewer and fewer places that aren't overtouristed.  I will admit that I don't like people well enough to have to deal with too many of them on my vacation.  [/quote]

I was going to post the same thing. We have our second home and will spend almost all the summer here (and have been here for all the pandemic) except for one summer camp in DC.  Our place is on the water and less than 2 hours from DC.  And a nicer house than our DC house for less money bc is is a LCOL area.  Our combined mortgages are what we would have to pay in total to upgrade our DC house.  So now I build equity in two homes.

And we can still travel. But travel doesn’t interest me as much anymore bc as you say, everything is overtouristed and air travel exhausts me. And I don’t like crowds.  But I don’t feel like I can’t vacation anywhere bc of my second home. I don’t feel like I have to come here.  Pre-pandemic, we came when we wanted to.  [/quote]
