Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Like most questions of this type, the answer has to be "It depends."
Without going into boring detail, at 75YO we are in the process of building quite an expensive lake home. Financial insanity. Our family has occupied roughly 1200 feet of beautiful lakeshore since about 1915. The land to the west has been occupied since 1895 by the same family. Last year that land became available and was a hafta-do-it for us. Between us and another family member we have added about 600 additional feet to the compound. We will bequeath this land and house to DS, who will in turn bequeath to another generation. In the big picture, our age doesn't matter except that we had the financial resources to pull it off.
