[quote=sdcellar][quote=nocommonsense]Vacations are over rated. We prefer staycations :)[/quote]I’m definitely not trying to convince you otherwise, but for our family, it’s definitely the opposite. My wife says we can get as nice a house as I want, but we better still be able to take nice vacations!
To put into perspective, that means I have roughly $40,000 less to spend on my house. Ouch.[/quote]
I dig nocommonsense for being a good sport and for not possessing a thick skin, unlike some others who have sought “advice” here. But I have to go with sdc. A few years ago my family took a trip to Oregon that could have been certified a disaster of sorts – stomach flu for all, parking tickets, rental car issues etc. But three years later, I’m really glad we went, and I really like my shot of Multnomah Falls that’s hanging in the hallway.
If I had your buying power, I’d be tempted to buy into that next level, but I’d really try to be more conservative. That’s what I’m trying to do in my own search, but it’s harder with our limits.
