That's true, but why work for the money if you don't enjoy it? If having a large, nice property brings you enjoyment, the dollars are well spent. It's all a matter of priorities. Money for the sake of money's sake isn't what it's about for me. It's about the experiences we have with it.
I don't think most posters here have anything against expensive homes. But if it means putting all your retirement nest eggs in one basket, it is a risky strategy, especially in an area that historically has had a boom and bust kind of local economy.
