We're kind of hijacking the thread, but... everyone is entitled to their opinion. So, would purchasing a weekend getaway place be "such a waste" because it is only used 2 days a week?

For us, the reason we purchased a retirement home in FL and snowbird is to avoid dealing with the cold winters in MN and basically having to be inside all winter. We kept our house in MN so that we don't have to deal with the heat and humidity of the FL summers. If a person can afford it, why not have the best of both worlds?
