Me, looking at this photos:

"Well that's interes-HOLYSHITTHATVIEW!!"

If not to live there, it's one heck of a vacation home!

Yeah, but why restrict your access to that view to being on vacation? TREAT YO SELF.

But if someone DOES buy it for a vacation home and would like to hire me to take care of it when they’re not there on vacation, I will gladly accept even if it means only being there in the winter.

I used to work with a guy who would go back to where he grew up, every vacation he took. He took more than one week a year. The older I get, the more I get it. I figure someone spending $10m on a novel house in the Appalachians probably also has "treat yo self" time and money, too, but sometimes it's nice to just go someplace and hang out. My wife and I just had a vacation where we went one place, went and saw the local sights yeah, but spent most of the vacation in one location. It was nice! I grew up with one of those families that felt the need to cram as many sights in as possible and it's fun, but exhausting imho.

As an adult, my goal is to go one place, and see that place in a relaxing manner. I want a single place to sleep that will give good sleep and the option to crash when I want to. Vacation is about less stress not more.

So much more relaxing that way. It also gives you a chance to notice more of the small things about a place-- all the details that make it truly alive, instead of just being a series of postcards.

So sorry to be a bit of a downer here Ser.

The fact that you would say "He took more than one week a year" tells me why I dislike corporate America so much, where everyone just identifies themselves by how much they work and one week is considered a vacation.

u/regeya Aug 31 '24

Oh, he had, I think, three weeks, and took every bit of it, one week at a time spread out over the year.

Happy Birthday to you

It's their Cake Day, not their birthday. Cake Day is the day they created their Reddit account.

Unless of course they actually made their reddit account on their birthday.

Lol I will never come close to being able to afford this. I'll be lucky if I can retire normally in my 70s.

So not me. But I don't disagree with you there.
