It's not the money - it's the fun, the relaxation, the peace, the outdoors, the water, the clear air, the family times, the solitude or the togetherness, the chores that aren't "chores", the food that tastes better - no matter what it is, the weather that's always great and oh, the memories, the memories, the memories.

If you read any of the Rich Dad Poor Dad series of books, he talks about this very issue.He talks about investing in revenue producing property and use the cashflow from your revenue producing property to pay for your non revenue producing property. How do you put a value on the quality family time spent at the cottage? Kids grow up so fast and the time spent together declines proportionately to their age. Bringing everyone together and spending quality time doing activities they enjoy so much kindles memories that last a life time hense why people like Julie had to have a cottage as one of their life long dreams. What value do you put on decreased stress or the 5 pound Walleye you just landed? I really don't want to know what my cottage costs a year. I really don't want to know what my gas bill is at the lake. All I really want to know about is the fun everyone is having there. That makes it all worth while. The picture looks vaguely familiar.
