Someone who is wealthy enough to belittle those with a $300,000.00 - $500,000.00 home really needs to find a life. MOST people do not have multiple homes, let alone their second home having this kind of value. Most persons on the lake are elitists by definition. I say this because to purchase a home of this value you must be earning more than 95% of the population. If you want to trash all of us “poor” people and how we live go ahead. Soon your ridiculously over-inflated property value will fall back to semi-reasonable and we will have to hear you whine about it.

My lake house is only around 350 useable square feet. It usually sits in 25-35 foot of water. If I want 100 feet deep, I can have it. My water-front spans 700 miles, and I could enjoy all 700, if I so desire. I have most amenities of other lake homes, but all my neighbors, the community store, and the gas station are all within a stones throw from me. I know a large majority of my neighbors by name, and have spent a good amount of time with each. Although some consider our area trashy, we all have financial commitments to our desired lifestyle. The amount we spend for this lifestyle could equate to a nice home on the lake, we just have chosen a different route. So, go ahead and talk down to MOST EVERYONE ELSE on the lake because our houses are not 4000 sq ft + 1,000,000.00 mansions. Be happy with what you have for Pete’s Sake and stay hidden behind your gate, fence, and guard shack. Who are you defending it against? The wildlife???
