[quote=Anonymous][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 [b]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[/b]. 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]

We are talking about people with second and third homes in this sub thread - it’s hardly indicative of the finances of regular Americans in the first place.[/quote]
