Right. . .I should get off my 25 year old butt and pull the 200k out of my wallet and buy my own place. I am still a little young to have that much disposable income--perhaps in a couple of years (after law school). However, I am also intelligent enough to know that having a place at the lake would not instantly make me a better person, a better boater, more polite, or more knowledgeable than someone else. Those things have absolutely nothing to do with whether or not you have a lake home. There are tons of people in this area that grew up on the lake--ON THE WEEKENDS. These people are great boaters, are very considerate, and very knowledgeable. From what I have seen, most of the time when you pick out a wild driving, inconsiderate boater and follow that boat, you will end up at a lake house. . .usually a lake mansion. It seems as though the more modest incomes (lake home owners AND weekenders) can afford much better manners than the extremely wealthy.
