The crazy inflation in costs certainly hasn't helped and I would venture to guess that a lot of other people in my age bracket (41) are feeling the same way.
I'm 72, My wife and I went thru the same stage at your age. We had a lake home on Winnisquam but with the kids in serious sporting activities we rarely got to use it. We sold it and rented one week every year until they graduated high school then purchased again, no regrets.
Now 11 years later our grandchildren are in serious sports, and we can never seem to get them to come up to the lake. But I'm not selling this time, this is my time.
Life goes through stages, not everyone has their kids in sports but that is a lake home killer.
