There are people out there who earned enough to buy expensive homes on Lake Winnnipesaukee. Someday it might be you, or your son or daugher. And that's a bad thing? And I did it the old fashion way, I earned it through hard work. It's a big lake. One of the things I love about it is that there are small shacks, and huge mansions, and everything in between. And it has always been that way, despite journalistic accounts of recent construction. The American Dream...and I chose to spend some of it on the shores of a beautiful lake in NH.
I think you may have taken my comment incorrectly, please do not. It was a sincere welcome and a hope that you could bring a different perspective to the mix of opinions. Although many of us are owners of lakefront property, there are few I would imagine that would not be owners if not for inheritance or a plain old mortgage. Hence your uniqueness.
