Having a summer home and a winter home is not an investment in finances to some people. It provides an increased quality of life. Just as you would spend money on a trip or a vacation and not expect a financial rate of return from it, you can invest in a second home and not look for a rate of return on it. In my case the annual cost of my TV home is less than what I have spent regularly on winter vacations. Except I can actually live here.
And the question comes up, why the constant interest in making more money? Is it not that you get to spend it on a better life? Well, the better life for me is being in TV - this is what I have been saving my money for. I have been in many places in the world (perhaps too many) and this place happens to be my choice.
