[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 random 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]

Fishing for invites got real old once we hit our mid 30s. Makes you feel second class, like a leech. Especially once you have a kid or two. And renting is just flushing money down the drain. When you rent you're just lowly transients. The vibe is totally different when you own, when you know the neighbors, when your kids can grow up with neighbor kids. Being able to go away on a whim, there's nothing like it.[/quote]

I own my house, but don't have any desire for a vacation home. I go away on a whim all the time. Just book a plane ticket and hotel when things are not busy at work. Lots of domestic and international destinations. Love not being tied to one place for my vacations.[/quote]

Why would you be tied to 1 place for vacations? We use our 2nd home (beach) for weekend getaways and now stay a lot longer because can remote work. We go other places for our vacations. Mostly overseas. [/quote]

Same here.[/quote]
