Here's a NEWSFLASH!!! for the OP:
Stuff costs money.
More stuff costs more money.
I am a snowbird with a home up north and in TV, and there are some homes in TV that are worth more than both of my homes combined. A lot more.
I enjoy the change. It comes with considerable hassle as well as expense, and I hope to live long enough that it will not be feasible to do both anymore. If/when that day comes, TV will likely be our sole home. Like all homes in TV, it was designed for easy living for old people. My northern home is a converted fish camp on a lake. Pretty enough in summer, but an easy place to get injured with funky stairways, a dock, boats, rocks on the beach etc etc.... I feel more vulnerable here every year.
