Re: According to Jill, "MANY" of us have Summer homes...

I honestly think Jill's comment is a Eastern Pa. Thing. The Jersey Shore thrives on traffic from there during the summers and there are indeed many people who have real estate at the shore-and not all "beach"homes look as if they are from the pages of Coastal Living either. Many houses have been in families for generations: if people who.use them now had to buy them, there would probably be a hefty percentage of those who couldn't. Poodlepet2

I don't think Jill is out of touch at all. Some people here have a poverty mentality or a depression era way of thinking and assume that everyone else lives the way they do. Get out more and mingle with people not from your immediate neighborhood.

I don't understand your comment. Can you please explain a little more what you mean?

My parents have two homes and a ski condo. Myself have only one home. It is what it is. I am sure in her circle that she runs with many do have summer homes.

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

My husband and I have a nice one room summer home but he keeps his tools in it. I think some people call it a garage. We don't have to drive, we can just walk across the yard.Smile

I guess she thinks that since I have an outhouse that I'm at the poverty level{#emotions_dlg.w00t}

But on the other hand, I have a college education....Oh My!!!

Re: According to Jill, "MANY" of us have Summer homes...

Not only do I not own a summer home, I haven't been on a real vacation since my honeymoon in 1985.

I don't think Jill's remark was out of line though.....I think there ARE a lot of people with summer homes. I know quite a few myself.

we have a cabin in the mountains. No, it isn't a luxury home--just a cabin for getting away for a weekend here, there. All that "wealth" talk is remeniscent (sp) of madison Ave.

Re: According to Jill, "MANY" of us have Summer homes...

Even if one could afford 2 homes, it doesn't mean one would want one. My dad came home all excited one day. He told my mom they could get a great deal on a lake house. My mom said, are you crazy? I have enough to clean now. And...if you think you are going to stick me alone all week with 2 kids and you will come up on weekends to party, think again". Point taken mom!
