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.
We bought our place in 2015 from a guy with young kids who built it in 2000. On move in, it was very clear that they were almost never there. I think we longed more time out first 1/2 summer than he did in 15 years. It's really tough with a young family--you need to be committed to a certain lifestyle that does not include Little League et al
