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 fortunate in that an earlier generation bought an island property. Yes, there were many years when I was too busy to get there much and year when my kids were too busy. Having a place to build memories across generations has become more important to my family than the appreciated asset (although that is nice too!). If it's a lifestyle choice that is affordable and can live on with the next generation (or beyond) a second home can be worth a lot.
